    Speaking as a typical numbskull idiot Echo reader, I think this was an insurance job, and would like to add that students are all scum. Oh, also, taxis are overpriced.
    Well said, Georgem !
    There is evidence that some events are contrived to enable fraudulent insurance claims.
    There is evidence that the behaviour of some students make people angry enough to describe them in very graphic terms.
    There is evidence that some taxi drivers will charge more than others for the same journey.
    But are there enough Echo readers who may be reasonably described as "idiots" and "numbskulls" such that Georgem can reasonably descibe himself as typical ?
    Can idiots and numbskulls read the Echo?
    If they are idiots and numbskulls, how did they learn to read and develop computing skills ?
    Would an idiot or a numbskull be able to assess their own mental condition ? If georgem was an idiot, how would he know he was ? And how, if one assumes he is correct and is an idiot, is he able to assess the level of idiocy in others to the extent that he can deduce that he is "typical" ?
    Is this an example of a paradox ? A real Catch-22 ? Georgem would have to BE an idiot to say he IS an idiot, but if he IS an idiot he would not realise it BECAUSE HE IS AN IDIOT ! So if he says he is, he can't be.

Mysterious substance at Lynx Express in Bishopstoke leaves one person in hospital

Mysterious substance leaves workers in hospital Mysterious substance leaves workers in hospital

A mysterious powder found at a depot in Bishopstoke has burnt several workers.

The white crystallised substance was found in the back of an articulated lorry trailer this morning at couriers UPS, in Dutton Lane.

Six people are reported to have had a reaction after coming into contact with the chemical, which is believed to be an industrial cleaning powder.

Fire crews from Eastleigh and St Mary's, plus specialist Hazardous Materials officers were called at 7.20am to the depot to help with decontamination, which took an hour and 45 minutes.

One worker told the Daily Echo that four people have been taken to hospital, one with burns to their eyes and another with burns to their arms.
