When someone sent me this I though it was a spoof email, but no the Berlin correspondent's name is for real.

I'm lost here - what is funny? Why would you think it was a spoof? All I get is a proper report about the ongoing paedo scandal in the catholic church. :scratch:

Some months ago on our local TV news, they had a story about a little girl who called the emergency services as her farther was taken an overdose, apparently he had a history of mental problems.
Not helped I suspect by his parents Mr & Mrs Kerr naming their son Wayne :roll:
