Local darts legend Ted Hankey has gone out of the BDO World Darts Championship at the semi-final stage after losing to some foreigner or other, which won't go down well with people in Stoke. Hankey's father, Lord Hankey of Bentilee, was also unimpressed after the match. "Bloody foreigners coming over here ruining our heritage events," said Lord Hankey after the semi-final. "How would they like it if I went over to their country and entered a clog-dancing event or an ethnic cleansing tournament or whatever it is that lot do over there. They wouldn't bloody allow it. We've gone soft in this country."

On a positive note, Ted has announced he will join the rival (and better) darts organisation, the PDC, where he will join other local darts legends such as Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis. Taylor has begged Hankey to join the PDC in the past saying: "Ted should show some bottle, come over and have a go. We're both Stokies and I want him to come over."
