This is quite unbelievable. I’m reading a story today in the local newspaper and it’s quite shocking to say the least. A young girl who works in a fishmonger’s in Palau Solità de Plegamans which is just outside Barcelona has been given her marching orders despite being in a coma!

Alliance & Leicester bought by Santander
The Spanish armada has arrived on Britain’s high street, and this time we’re cheering.
