On pages 6 to 7 in the YEP today (August 19 2013) there is an interesting report relating to the many objects unearthed during the restoration of the City Varieties (CV). The YEP states the work "will take another six months, but once finished the archives will be housed at the West Yorkshire Archive Service, down the road in Morley, where they will be available to the public". The "down the road in Morley" bit made me . OK, the expression does not necessarily mean next door but I would hardly class Morley as being "down the road" from the CV, though the "in Morley" is right.

The YEP illiteracy has evidently spilled over to the Yorkshire Post. In one of their recent property ads, a house was described as having a South facing "fasard". Unless of course it was an illiterate estate agent who placed the ad, which is also distinctly possible.Wool

THE parents of a five-year-old boy who drank beer out of a can on a bus while they were unconscious have both walked free from court.From today's online edition. That's rather a clever trick isn't it.
