Warning - Rant Coming On ......
The Best of ... I can't be the only one hugely irritated by the current newspaper trend where every other page has 'The 10 best ......', the 50 of this or 100 of that. Pubs, holiday destinations, rural retreats, market towns, places to live, albums, films, stage shows, male footballers, female footballers, ski resorts, goalies, TV shows, video games ............... etc. The list goes on and on and on. It will be closely followed by the best of 2025 reviews and summaries, and then predictions for 2026. And who the hell decides what the best are? Seems to me that newspaper writers (it can't be called journalism can it?) are running out of things to write about so a list is Googled, assembled in a self-justified order and the story is done. Lazy. Does anybody actually read them? Canadian, US, UK papers are all at it. Rant over. So I thought I'd reflect on my 50 best ..... No, you're spared! Davis Bay ...
