I noticed that too as I was looking for an announcement.This week in the death notices was a verse ,one of the lines was "my hearst is broken" That is shocking ,I would want a refund.The same error online too.

To be fair to the YMP, that could well be the funeral directors fault - the Co-op royally messed up the entry we'd placed for my late dad.

The Co-op messed up my mother's funeral and goodness knows they charged enough.

Yeah but you would think the YEP would have corrected it when some person was editing,its obvious if you have lost someone your heart is broken ,not your hearst.

On page 13 of the YEP of September 13 2012 there is a 'Memory Lane' photo dated October 28 1992 showing workers busy on the inner city loop road project near Leeds General Infirmary. The photo is said to show them working on Commercial Street but it seems clear to me that it is at the junction of Calverley Street and Great George Street! Tut tut to whoever at the YEP said it is Commercial Street!

I may be wrong but I don't think it will have been "the loop" back then. While it may be part of what is now the loop I don't think the concept is 20 years old.

There is a report in todays YEP stating that drinkers are to be banned from drinking outside a Leeds pub on Sunday Mornings so as not to offend church goers. It wrongly states that the New Inn is next to St Oswalds church in ...............Rawdon! A local councillor said "people attending the morning service could find the pub being open distracting or even offensive"!!! I can feel an attack of the vapours coming on at the very thought of it We are very sensitive in Guiseley don't you know

Just remembered I have this shot I took at Selby a few years ago. It must be the smallest Y.E.P office ever, and it's not everyday you see a Heavy Metal band just happen to be walking past.Good sports they were anyway

If it's before, they could sue UB all the way to the Bank of Jamaica for theft of image rights.
