BRIGG LINK TO THE FAMOUS SWEENEY

We are pretty sure that the award-winning John Sweeney who appears on BBC TV's Panorama is the same John Sweeney who attended an eight-week block release journalism course with us in Sheffield in the early 1980s while "yours truly" was based in Brigg on the dear old Lincolnshire Times. We've both some hair in the intervening 30-plus years but he looks the part. 

For me it's pushing it to include North Kelsey in my "patch" whereas John can include North Korea in his. It's a small world - well, for Brigg Blog it is!

Link to a journalist whose so famous he merits a Wikipedia entry. We'll let you guess which one of us it is...
