      Sorry Reeves, I though the most recent issue had landed with everyone; the results will be in the early 2015 one. I don't actually know who the photographers are as it's blind judging.

      Please say you didn't just ask that?

      It was a tragic event when 96 Liverpool fans where killed at Hillsborough stadium. The police forged an accidental death verdict and it has now been over turned.

      R.I.P

    3. N15class

      N15class

      I am very sorry for not knowing what Hillsborough is, I have no interest at all in football, so how would I know it was a football ground? I could well of been working away at that time so of mist the main item of news.

      I feel sorry for the victims and their families.
