No link, unfortunately, because there's nothing in the online version about it and I didn't buy the paper, but yesterday's billboard headline was

CYCLE SMASH CAUSES CHAOS

I wouldn't mind betting that any chaos that was caused was not as a result of a cycle being involved, but a motor vehicle of some sort. If it's just bikes and people, clearing it away afterwards isn't usually that much of a problem.

Mobile hookers Roxy, 25, and friend Ronnie, 27, say Sidmouth’s elderly population won’t deter their self-styled ‘passion wagon’ from dropping in on the Regency seaside resort as they embark on a road-trip across the South West.

Astonished residents this week said ‘no thanks’ to the saucy duo and warned: “There’ll be uproar over this. People will be livid.”

The pair offer spanking, threesomes, humiliation and exhibitionism from their ‘service station with a difference’- a white camper van.

Farriers are actually one of the oldest registered professions in the UK - and the smallest.  The Farriers Registration Council used to meet at our offices.

Hapless thief tries to steal from car parked outside training course for BOUNCERS

Note that the thief is described as 'dim witted' but no comment is made on the wits of the person who left a satnav in view in an unlocked car...

Regardless of whether the car is locked or the item is on display, it is still attempted theft.

It is, and I don't deny the criminality or IQ of the thief. But leaving a car unlocked and a Satnav on show isn't a bright move, that's all.
