Headline in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle some 20 years ago:

"Jobs blow for Tyne shipyard workers."

I bet the typesetter was expecially careful with that one.

The Scotsman many year ago - a house of ill-repute, near the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, was raided on the basis of too many rooms the space and hence safety.

"Council go in to look for unauthorised erections."

in 1998 when Dick Advocaat went to manage the huns, the back page of the (i think Daily Record) paper had "Dick-heads for Rangers" that made me lol lol lol
