This classic from a few days ago:http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... 41309.jpIf you read the story the incident took place in Hampshire ! They must be short of things to write about at the YEP.

I've noticed that too over the last couple of months, there's a lot of stuff on there that's not remotely in yorkshire.The text is a straight copy/paste from www.milngavieherald.co.uk or www.dailyecho.co.uk, which itself is only slightly tweaked from www.hampshire.police.uk to look a little less like a press release.You'd think they'd get it right when they don;t even need to type anything *facepalm*

The weekly 'Retro' section in today's YEP is about December 1975 and its main report concerns the fire at Kirkgate Market. In that it states "The fire happened on December 14, firefighters received the call at 6.26pm and by 8.46pm had it under control. It destroyed two thirds of the market and the YEP ran the headline, 'The night the market died' the following day".It would be at least 2 days later nowadays before the YEP would report such an event and certainly not overnight!In the 'Retro' it mentions that films at the cinema included 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. That film was released in 1969 and would have been out here in 1970 at the latest, so if it must have been a re-release in 1975.I've noticed for some while now that (according to its back page) the YEP is printed at the Wellington Street site. I was under the impression that printing of the YEP was done at a site in South Yorkshire (possibly near Doncaster) following changes quite a long while back, but I am clearly wrong if printing has been brought back to the Leeds site.

If printing has switched back to Wellington Street, it's not been widely publicised.Mind you, think yourself lucky that the YMP has even hit the news stands this week. On Wednesday in Halifax a friend went to buy an Evening Courier (published by the same company) and was greeted by a sign stating there was no paper today and to check the website for all the latest news. I'm sure that wouldn't have happened in the days the paper was actually printed in Halifax.

Yes I heard the editor of the Halifax Evening Courier interviewed on the radio yesterday and he said the reason the paper never hit the streets (for the first time in it's history) was that delivery vans were unable to get to the printing plant in Dinnington, South Yorkshire. I thought the YEP was also printed there?

I thought the YEP was also printed there? I thought that too. Up until recently it seemed that the YMP and the Courier were delivered to the YEP building by the printers, from where the Courier vans collected them (I regularly pass the YEP building at 6.30am-ish and often saw the Courier vans departing heading for Halifax). However, I was recently told by my friendly local newsagent that Menzies now deliver the YMP which is why it is in the shop at the same time as the 'morning' papers. There has certainly been less activity around the YMP building on a morning for the last month or so. Perhaps the new delivery arrangements were to blame? Certainly the YMP has been on sale every day this week, so I'm not sure why the whoever delivers the Courier couldn't get through.

At the bottom of the last page in at least the recent issues of the YEP it states "The Yorkshire Evening Post is printed and published by Yorkshire Post Newspapers at Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 1RF". That is where I got the information that I noted in my post that the YEP is now printed in Leeds.
