LOCAL NEWSPAPERS

The local paper in the rural part of Denmark where I live is called Lokalavisen, which translates as "the local paper". Local it most certainly is, with news of village fetes, golden wedding parties, neighbour disputes and such like.

I was struck by the blazing headline in this week's edition; "Married Couple Get Dog Turd on their Driveway". Can you get more local than that?
