The Sun newspaper should really be in the bin after their terrible reporting of the Hillsborough disaster.

They like the Sol Cinema and wrote the following.,..

ONE of the world's smallest cinemas has gone green - using a giant solar panel to power its films. The tiny Sol Cinema in Wales is one of the world's smallest movie theatres and runs out of a caravan. It has an usherette, red carpet and can seat eight people.

Projectionist Paul O'Connor, said: "It's just like Dr Who's tardis really - people step inside and it takes them to another world. That's the power of film.  "We are very keen on the movie-going experience, just because it's a tiny cinema doesn't mean you can't have the big screen treatment. "That's why we have a red carpet and an usherette to clip your tickets and show you to your seats. "It's just something that makes it a bit more memorable."
