Doom and gloom feeds need for negative news

EVERY week I get a chance to share a bit of me with you, which at times can be both challenging and colourful, yet a privilege for me in many ways.

Here we are more than halfway through October and I’ve heard a rumour this week that the Tories are holding a bonfire night party next month.

They’re all going to have sparklers, but they’re hoping to give Liz Truss the rocket!

Browsing the newspapers this week, it seems we are bombarded with doom and gloom from one source or another 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And surveys.

Apparently, Brits are now the most surveyed people in the world.

According to a recent survey, that is!

Well, maybe your reasoning is different to mine, but research suggests that we are addicted to gossip and negative news.

I’ve said it before and will now say it again, wouldn’t it be great if all news reports had to be happy, upbeat and uplifting?

I can guarantee the mood of the nation would change for the better

I love the fact that as part of my job people share events and stories with me.

Some of the best material comes from true stories, maybe with a bit of an added comedic twist.

Long may it continue!
