A pretty uneventful story reported by the BBC - girls were picking flowers, police turned up and told them it was an offence etc. so please don't do it in the future.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-12757118

The Mail runs with: "The daffodil police: Officers swoop on three little girls picking flowers in park"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1366401/Sisters-aged-4-6-10-threatened-arrest-picking-daffodils-park.html

and the Mirror: "Cops tell girls who picked daffodils they could be arrested"

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-world/2011/03/16/cops-tell-girls-who-picked-daffodils-they-could-be-arrested-115875-22992177/

Don't believe everything you read in the papers

I remember about ten years ago a microlight hit a house and then all of sudden US invaded Afghanistan.

There was an article on the back page of The Sun the other day, "Mourinho: I'm coming home!"

Supposedly about Jose Mourinho wanting to come back to the Premiership. Said article contained not a single quote from Mourinho or anyone connected to him.

I don't understand how they can just conjure such pure horseshit out of thin air, are they not regulated by anyone?
