TO SOME people Monday always denotes "wash day blues". Having watched my washing machine go through its various cycles, which seem to have more channels than most up-to-date television sets, it gives one time to reflect.

It seems that over the last few weeks, if not months, the main topics of news covered by the media rests between the circumstances of Princess Diana's tragic death and the political scene.

Well, I for one, only wish that both these events should be like my washing machine, finish the spin and hang them out to dry and cease all this hype and speculation, the truth may never be known.
