Hi mike and old boy
Regarding your comments on the news papers reporting of such acts of criminal activvy and how in thou,s days the press printed every detail of the aspects of
Crimes committed
Yes I agree mike a lot of people today just climpse through it, I myself do read every print of story,s what ever the case may be
Whether it be true is another matter, but never nor less they are quite detailed may I had
Most papers had a little extra to the story or get it right and that depends of the people reporting it
Last week I was in our local paper for rescuring. A child of three years old and his mother by pulling them out
After the car went out of control for speeding around our bend after it as just been resurfacing of chipping
It landed down a sub way and was hanging over and crushed car the car was was truly rammed almost upside down
I was the only one around in the early hours of the morning the car was steaming and the bonnet was smoking heavvyly
I had a job to get them out but I had to fight to get them out and dragging them out and to safety eventually a nurse was passing
And she came down to me and she attended to to them she kept the mother talking and I myself with the child whom was badly hurt
The lady had broken ribbs ,broken ankle and damage to her pelvis,
A day or two later the press printed the story they got a picture of the car danger long down over the sub way from an ambulance driver
Whom taken the picture of the car and forwarded to a news paper
Whom as you say put what they thought of there version, this was coming from a free paper that goes around the area and districts of Bromsgrove and word
But our own paper the word news do what yourself and old boy said in those days they give you word for word and descriptions of colour and alsorts
It readership is not really a high volume but they do print accurately to the finest detail
So accurately if Mrs X cat had kittens today they would print the ex act time of arrival and colour and how many to the dot
That's how they are precise in printing there story's out here in word
That's why its the only newspaper that print accurately today compared to all the other national new papers do today
I found your story very interesting indeed thank you mike and old boy for your threads
Best wishes Alan,,Astonian,,,,,
