Ironic that this week the Wirral Globe should come prematurely. Wednesday, a whole two days early. And Lusty Justy's written the lead 'story'.
Apparently there's going to be a golf match in Hoylake, Cheshire, later this year and the Council wants to spend half a million pounds of YOUR money on table decorations. But the brother of one of the Globe's fleet of cub reporters - I'll call him Nick Manning - has offered to do the whole thing for £100 and six Oxton Grand Lodge suppers.
But what makes this 'piece' so treasurable is that 'Mr Manning' used the words "It's potty", which Justy then wove magically into the headline
In a footnote, Justine wrote:
It only happens four or five times in a washed up career that an interviewee actually uses a newspaper cliche such as "It's potty", so it would be potty not to auction the original interview tape for the Globe Christmas Appeal.
I'm in for a fiver, Dunn.
