I love local news websites, papers, parish magazines etc. Mostly because they add an air of importance to really trivial 'news', and also because they often have an amusing writing style. I found this gem last night (regarding a vehicle fire that closed a road for a while)...
"We rang the [nearby hotel] to see if they had information about the lorry fire. The helpful barmaid said: “Nothing I can see my lovely.”
And one of my favourites concerning a crash that meant another road closure...
"Passengers on a Stagecoach bus, one carrying a large mirror she had purchased, walked beside the accident scene to make their way home after the incident."
Is it just me that lives in a place with stories like this?? Please share others!
