Headline.




Incomprehensibly, terrifyingly, parts of our major cities descend into anarchy and violence.

Here in Middle England, we try to keep a sense of proportion.

So here is today's local headline.

  1. Glad you posted this - I saw it out of the corner of my eye whilst driving and was convinced I'd misread it!

  2. I was so delighted by it that I called in at the end of the day and Delia and Eric from the shop presented me with the original!
    I don't want to know the story - speculation is so much more interesting!

  3. Love it! It certainly helps to keep things in perspective doesn't it?!! Glad you didn't post the details - the headline is sufficient to raise a smile in these days of mayhem! Thank you!

  4. Marigold: I love these local news bill boards - 'Death Threat to Local Dog' and 'Local Man Dies at 89' were other memorable offerings.
    Keep smiling!

  8. Zhoen: Don't laugh - it's serious journalism (in this neck of the woods).

    Sannah: Thank you for commenting. Having read your blog I realise I have a serious attack of Inner Peace.

    Leslee: I agree, and luckily there's a bit of absurdity in many things. Sometimes you have to look hard, though.

  9. I wonder why? Out of shop, I can understand (though I would be kinder, myself, than to kick).

  10. That's why I really don't want to know the actual story!

  12. This is starting to seem incredibly sane to me: the kind of actions we should focus on. Should I worry?

  13. Anne: It could have been that sea-gull that's all over You-Tube, nicking crisps. It which case - fair enough.

    Frances: Perhaps you might start worrying. I hear there are plans about deportation to Australia.
