Glass art goes t*ts up and becomes 'booby prize' of 'Metric Martyrs' SUNDERLAND Page 3 girl Danni May first had her 'assets' immortalised at the National Glass Centre, when the glamour model's chest became one of celebrity body parts to join the National Glass Centre's tourist attraction's the 'Wall of Fame'. Then, the 'glass bust' was auctioned to Neil Herron of the Metric Martyrs and offered as a 'booby' prize every month to the politician – national or local – who drops the biggest clanger. Confused? You will be... A real pane in the glass for telesales Also from Sunderland comes the following story.... A DOUBLE-GLAZING saleswoman who tried to target Tony Blair’s East Durham home missed her window of opportunity. The eager sales rep got through to the Prime Minister’s constituency home, Myrobella, in Trimdon Station, which is listed as A.C.L. Blair in the Teesside phonebook. English Heritage in race against time to save rare 500 year old glass English Heritage, with a group of local archaeologists, is investigating a secret site on which Warwickshire rabbits have been busy over the summer. The rabbits' burrowing into a grass hump which was the platform on which a house stood, has dug up a large quantity of rare medieval glass thought to have been the remains of a very grand, highly decorated window of a substantial 14th century manor house.
