Regional news is great

If you live in the north you get 'Look North'

If you live in the east you get 'Look East'

But what do you get if you live on the Silly Isles?

/edit
Apparently so known because of the inhabitants inexplicable use of extra letters in words.

from John o'Groats to Land's end once.
But I stopped there - if I'd carried

That's strange

Surely if he's cycled the entire length of the country, they must have passed at some point?

I know my father wouldn't let a little fact like that get in his way.

900 miles long, but only the width of one bike...
