Post Sounds like a record - any advance on 0655 please     ??? That is early!I drive down Wellington Street on my way to work at around 6.30am during the week and the vans are often leaving to make deliveries then. I think we touched on this before but the YEP, like all Johnstone Press papers in the North, is actually printed overnight in South Yorkshire and then shipped out to the local offices to be delivered. This explains why they are always a day behind with the news, whereas in the old days (when it was a full size paper) the Leeds Final edition could be vastly different to the County edition that had first appeared depending on the days events.

Don't like defending the YEP but in this case it is correct. It is a play on words but to "gambol" is to leap about playfully which is what lambs, the feature of the article, do and is probably the adjective most widely associated with lamb behaviour.
