Maybe one of our Ealing/Perivale posse could confirm this shocking revelation?

I expect that coming across a gruffalo in the darkness could put you right off your dogging...

Surely the whole point of dogging there is to come across a gruffalo?

Also, does the Express really not have anyone who understands the difference between cruising and dogging?

Their eyes are bloodshot, they wear trainer socks/ the Gruffalos show you their Gruffalo [Ed: that's quite enough thank you]

I imagine, if you come across a real gruffalo, the best thing to do is to wipe it off and say sorry.

I dunno, but on the verge of yoofhood I flew my RC model glider into a tree there.

I guess it could be added to the "looking for badgers" excuse?

Valentine's Day red rose price war between deutsches Supermarkts, for when you really need to spend as little as possible on the love of your life. Also, people are buying flowers and meals out.

I was too young for euphemisms, then.

I never realised that you had to wear gloves. I'll keep a look out for that.

A former colleague and I bonded over our shared love of local newspaper restaurant reviews. I've not heard from him for a while but I was tickled when this popped up in my inbox today from him:

Well done the Yorkshire Times for getting in there before the Michelin inspectors discovered it.
