We. Are. So. Excited. BBC’s recent announcement that they will be hosting a ballroom dance competition “in the spirit of the Eurovision song contest” got our booties shaking with anticipation. Here at EuroCheapo global HQ, we’re huge fans of Eurovision and staffer Alex Robertson Textor has written previous posts covering the event and—dare we say—is a true Eurovision expert. (In fact, he has added several “Eurovision” playlists to the office iPod.)

The Eurovision dance competition will showcase couples from 13 countries each performing two dances, though the second dance must have a “national flavor.” Channelling Simon Cowell, viewers will decide the winner and BBC One controller Peter Fincham promises “an evening full of stars and sequins, and glitz and glamour.” Bring. It. On.

News stories have broken across the UK about “faulty fuel” being pumped at petrol stations. Thousands of motorists claim to have been affected by contaminated or faulty petrol, their cars functioning improperly and even breaking down. According to the BBC, Tesco and Morrisons have not found any fault with their petrol after carrying out tests. Independent oil company Greenergy supplies both Tesco and Morrisons with their petrol, again according to the BBC.

Anyway, keep an eye out if you’re driving a rented vehicle. For the latest news on “faulty fuel,” keep an eye on the BBC’s coverage.
