Anyone fancy a kebab?


I'm sure when newspaper circulation departments gather up their papers and collect their bills for display outside newsagents, the last thing on their minds is whether the headline might be appropriate for the location. This bill from The Argus in Brighton made me smile. What's not obvious from the picture is that it's right outside a kebab shop.
It has to be said it's one of Brighton's better purveyors of the nations favourite after pub grub. I don't think the owners would have been too chuffed about the location of this particular bill.

Really useful content

The winter chill has seen some excellent work from local newspaper websites which have understandably seen an uplift in traffic thanks to snowed-in residents trying to get a handle on whether they can get their kids to school/themselves to work or the shops. Both local newspapers and radio come into their own in this kind of situation and full marks to the Argus in Brighton for finding and posting an excellent map showing the location of grit bins.
Whether there was any actual grit in them is another matter. But a fine example of how local newspapers can make themselves useful again.
