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.

Never actually been ina local rag...have never quite achieved that level of fame, however I did used to do the paper round for the Woking Review, once a week they would dump some stupid number of newspapers on my doorstep, expecting me to deliver the lot to all of Woking town centre, plus leaflets. I used to deliver about 15-30 papers, sometimes none, depending on my mood. This would be fairly late on a friday night, so avoiding being mugged or attacked by drunks/tramps made things interesting, the rest of the papers would get dumped at the recycling bin. Might not sound that funny, but my distributor thought I was a model delivery boy and payed me £50-90 a week for recycling the woking review, which was printed on recycled paper.
