Online comments as front page headlines, what an awesome idea. And I mean awesome in exactly the same sense that the inadvertent headline writer did.

"People up north just don't get it."

Case proven.

I just saw that as I was scrolling down to view your comment, that just adds to the awesomeness.

Ever read The News of the World? [ does it still exist?]
No issue could be without a parish priest and the choirboys, a Royal family saga, [preferably featuring Charles, the butler or the footman] a story about sleazy corrupt foreigners,[ preferably French or German] and at leat one article on a famous footballer taking bribes but claiming it made no difference to his commitment to the team. But i don'tknow if their front page could quite match this. God, i would have loved to have written for them.

Can't see his face…..but the girth is familar.
