I see that the landmark clock tower from the former YP/YEP building is going to be preserved by the new owners of the site. I am pleased about this as it really is a Leeds landmark. I sincerely hope they maintain it and it continues to display the time and temperature for many decades to come.

Having had my email address for some while now the YEP has very recently started to send me emails. In one that I was sent today (May 2 2014) it states there is a "Special pullout in today's Yorkshire Evening Post" and that it will be the first of five pullouts commemorating the 100th anniversary of the First World War (the "first world war" as the email gives that, but I think putting that in low case initial letters is wrong). The copy of the YEP that I have bought does not however have the pullout and there seems to be no mention in the paper that there would be such a pullout, so I wonder if it should have been in or did anyone else not get that pullout?

On the YEPs record, perhaps you should have got the April 30th edition Leodian!

I agree with you entirely Leodian - "war" in lower case would be correct for wars in general but for a specific one like WW1 "First World War" is quite correct.

The pullout is in the YEP today (May 3 2014). As it is a commemorative supplement I was not impressed though, as it has only a few pages and some of the print quality is poor (at least in the copy I got). Did it really need to have adverts, which to me greatly lessened the seriousness of the subject.

I haven't posted any of the YEP's shortcomings for a while - it's become like kicking a man when he's down - but this spectacularly shoddy piece of "journalism" prompted me into action:http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... 934Clearly not even proof read before uploading to the website, it's riddled with errors and poor grammar jostling for position between the occasional fact.

I read the online version and had the same thoughts. A rambling cut and paste job that contrives to provide little information.
