When the old Blue Bird toffee factory was scheduled to close, someone on the Halesowen News managed to put the headline ‘Fudge packing to cease’ past his editor.

I always liked the old back-page classic:-
“xxx crossed from the left wing, but yyy shit across the face of the goal.”
Now you can’t tell me that that one wasn’t either put in on a porpoise, or deliberately not spotted.

Suggest you practice on your own organ before starting on anyone else’s.

Wonderful.
I’d have done it deliberately… too good a chance to miss really.
Don’t worry chaps and chapesses, you can cunt on me.

The alleged best ever was when the whole million plus Sheffield edition of the Daily Mirror (back in the days when the edition was early printed in London and send thundering through the night on the Royal Mail Train). .. had to be pulled off at Grantham, or some such lonely graveyard spot and burned.
Thirteen sub editors, stone subs, proof readers and I think a Deputy Chief Sub and Assistant editor were booted as a result of this one.
There had been a society divorce the type we all love to get the juicy bits from. It had just been announced that the relationship was over and the Mirror screamed out
“Count sues for divorce. Wife’s link with @&@&@ blamed”
Simple enough. The page was set made up and put to bed the Sheffield Edition was printed and dispatched safely from St Pancras and the duty editorial team buggered off to the Wig and Pen for the odd sniffter only be be pursued by a lowly copy boy who had collected the run proofs…the first off the presses …and taken them up to the subs’ table via his tea break.
It was only then, and far too late, it was spotted that the O in COunt had been missed out by a bleary-eyed or Bolshevik compositor.
The end of many a glittering career that.
The Motto. The bugger they are the hrader two spit.
..and before the Daily Mirror attempts to sue…it happened well before even my time so live with it.

I’ve just spent a good five minutes reading those two lines over and over looking for the mispelt word!
