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.

Sports ReliefA colleague of mine at the primary school where I teach organised Sports Relief. We linked all our lessons for a day with Sports and charity work. I am sort of in charge of public relations so I rang the local rag and explained all the exciting "fund raising" and "cross curricular" activities that my colleague Miss B had organised. We emailed a fantastic colour picture (taken with my 5MP camera) of eight kids and Miss B in full sporting gear and each child's name and the sports star they were playing.
The final article appeared with the picture in black and white, the size of a postage stamp and beneath it; "XXX school held a fund raising day for Sports Relief. Mr Smith said 'It was very good.'"
What mastery and dextrous use of the English language I appeared to have. Thank you so much, Gazette.
