There’s something truly surreal about a day when the lead story on the local evening paper is actually ‘man edits local paper’. And anyway, it’s a half marathon, not a full one – but I guess that’s not such a good headline. Inside, there’s an apparently serious suggestion in the paper’s leader column that the town of Reading should be renamed ‘Redding-on-Thames’ for search engine optimisation purposes.

I agree with all your points. But they did get one extra sale from me; I bought a copy purely because I’ve never seen anyone wearing such wonky glasses before.
