MY brother who lives in Fort William, Scotland, rang me and said: "I have just finished listening to the radio and the broadcaster was speaking about Blackburn banning back stroke at a local swimming baths."

My brother said: "I had a right loud laugh because at the end of the broadcast the broadcaster said: 'Now I know the lunatics have left the asylum.'"

Enough said.
