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.

Not me but my little brotherMy brother was in the local paper for being banned from our local pub when he was about 4. He threw a crab apple at me which missed and made a tiny crack right in the corner of the pub's window.
Somehow the paper's report turned this into him throwing a stone at the window and breaking it. When the photographer came to take his picture they got a kitkat and smeared the chocolate all over his face. For some reason.
edit: Forgot to mention that the crack was still there 15+ years on, and my brother now spends his holidays working in the pub.
