A+, 10/10. Might actually have to buy a copy of this. Think the best part is the picture used to illustrate the 'judge sends benefit cheats to prison' story.
All it is missing is an offer for free cheese and campervans.

And if you dedo cide to leave, you'd better take your family otherwise you might die. Especially if you're a single woman who flods home in search of love and happiness.
(NOTE TO SUBS: 'Flods' is the present tense of 'fled', right? Cheers.)

The newspaper has a vigorous spellcheck/change program as well. It was meant to be: "Rooney: Why, am I leaving Man United? Dedocide."

Britons face a day of chaos as the clocks turn back an hour

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(1)
BRITONS face a day of chaos tomorrow as the clocks turn back an hour, plunging the country into evening darkness.
A third of us will oversleep, 20 per cent will wake up to a cold house after forgetting to change the central heating timer and one in eight will arrive at work late over the coming days.
Research by energy company npower also found that almost half of parents say the change in daylight hours will affect their children’s sleep patterns.
* WIN A LUXURY LONG WEEKEND FOR TWO IN CAIRO!!! INCLUDES BA CLUB CLASS FLIGHTS, FIVE STAR ACCOMMODATION AND £1,000 SPENDING MONEY! *
It will take an average of three days to readjust, with 40 per cent of people polled saying it would be harder to get their children to school on Monday.

Of course it'll be bloody hard, half term's just finished for most pupils.
― State Attorney Foxhart Cubycheck (Billy Dods), Saturday, 30 October 2010 08:28 (fifteen years ago)
Maybe a third of us will oversleep because, effectively, all of us get an extra hour asleep?
― James Mitchell, Saturday, 30 October 2010 08:38 (fifteen years ago)
chaos! plunging!
I wonder what kind of language they'd use if a REAL disaster ever hit Britain.
