Did you know?

That a current international football manager has strong peninsula links, and we will be featuring him on Sunday.

Also, today is Good Friday, which is a day where you should not do any laundry as it is considered unlucky as the head of the household could die.

The superstition goes back to Jesus' crucifixion and handed down through generations of Catholics.
