Classic Issue

Anecdote

It's a classic issue of the Essex County Standard this week. It's got it all:

• The word "revamp" features in the front-page main headline (with a bonus use inside).
• One of the puzzles has two answers.
• There's a missing word from one of the sub-headlines.
• There's an article there identical to one they had last week.
• Man has been arrested for assorted crimes in three different article headlines.

It's well worth the £1.50 cover price, and at 56 pages is more than twice the length of the Daily Telegraph — although the second half is family announcements, ads for family announcements, car ads, car articles (which are written by the people who place the car ads), local sports, plus bought-in TV listings, health articles and travel articles, so is like the pull-out the Telegraph came with that I didn't read.
