Disgruntled members of the Ludlow branch of the Royal British Legion have dubbed last Saturday night's Miss Ludlow competition an outrage after judges selected a woman from Cheshire to wear this year's crown.
The decision means that for the first time in the annual competition's history, the Ludlow branch will not be represented by a local girl. This has sparked a furious response from bewildered members. - Ludlow Advertiser (Jane Baron)
When drunk driver John O'Neill realised police officers had seen him crash his car, he swapped seats with his Alsatian. Police were not taken in when they found the dog behind the wheel with O'Neill in the passenger seat. He was jailed for six months. - Carlisle News & Star (Francis Harvey)
