Bishop Hill is not a bishop. He's not actually called Hill either. He is an Englishman who lives in rural Scotland.

Protecting our delicate sensibilities

DateJul 2, 2007

In this YouTube clip of a TV report about the recent bombings, the address where one of the Mercedes cars was found - Cockspur Street - has been tweaked so that it comes out as "----spur Street"! (It's near the end, about 2 mins in).

Is this deliberate? Was it excised by whoever posted it to YouTube or was it on the original report? We need to know.

And given the state of that doctor chap, wouldn't Cockburn Street have been more suitable?
