This turned up on one of my newsgroups and it so tickled my sense of humour I just had to share.
From the New Scotsman.
"...However, one pensioner who also found fame on Britain's Got Talent as
a breakdancer has found the downside of celebrity after part of his
disability benefits were stopped when he was seen by government
officials on the show.
Fred Bowers, 73, from Leicestershire, was an instant hit when he
performed the act, honed on dance floors seven days a week, in front
of millions of viewers."
Flavia - and Alan Bradley

It's always a source of pleasure when a friend of mine has a novel or
series of theirs adapted for film or television, and in the run-up I keep
my finge...
