There are some cracking stories in local newspapers, which don't make it nationally (and are not worth starting a thread for).  This thread shall be their repository.   I'll kick off with the Moreca

Feed 'em to the pigs, Errol. 

 

Burning calories: pig starts farm fire by excreting pedometer


Seventy-five square metres of farm near Leeds set alight after copper in pedometer battery reacted with dung and dry hay


Firefighters in North Yorkshire have tackled a blaze that broke out after a pig swallowed a pedometer which then combusted in its pen after excretion.

The fire crews were called to a blaze covering 75 square metres at four pigpens in Bramham, near Leeds, on Saturday afternoon.

The North Yorkshire fire and rescue service said the fire was caused by “nature taking its course” and copper from the pedometer battery reacting with dry hay and the pigpen’s contents.

The pedometer was being used to prove the animal was free range and had been taken off one of its fellow pigs.

No animals were harmed as a result of the fire.

“Should be an oink not a tweet,” said the fire service on social media. “A hosereel was used to extinguish the fire and save the bacon.”

Fucking hell...

 

at the turn of the century it was Liverpool's WAGs who set the trend with their bold style.

What they wore, everyone else tried to emulate - with shops across the city unable to stock items fast enough to keep up with demand.

 

National papers sent paparazzi to snap pictures of their outfits, major stores sent spies to try and understand what Scouse girls were buying and the fashion world collectively turned their eyes to Liverpool.
