Look! It's me in the Local PaperMost local papers will print any old rubbish. Far, far too many years ago I got into the Windsor, Slough and Eton Express after winning a fancy-dressed-bicycle competition. What they neglected to mention was that I was the only entrant.
What sad stuff have you been in your local rag for doing? Scan stuff in and show us if you can.

Just hangin aroundMe and my family were in various papers and on TV after our holiday had a slight accident. We were in Llandudno, in Wales and were taking the cable car back down the Great Orme when it stopped suddenly. We were left hanging just over 150 feet in the air above the dry ski slope there. The fire brigade could do nothing as no ladders could reach, so the police had to track down the key holders who had shut up and went home for the night as they miss-counted the cars coming back in. Cue being on the local TV station and reporters ringing neighbours and family to see if we had called them and to get the scoop. We were in the Daily Record and had a picture in the Evening Times when we got back as they sent a photographer to the door. If my dad hadn't lost the papers years ago I would scan it to show what a gormless twunt I looked back in the late 80's.
Check out the girth on that one ladies!!!
