it's stocked in my local newsagent now - here's a gem of a column:
"i always thought the saying 'no pain, no gain' came from some exercise freak. i was wrong, it was the chap who set up a bicycle business having just invented the wheel.
no doubt he didn't have to contend with the likes of northcliffe newspapers who seem to delight in attempting to crush any competition that happens to blossom in what they consider to be their patch.
one poor newsagent in clifton village tells me he had three visits from the bristol evening post's representatives in one week in an attempt to get him to remove copies of the clifton chronicle from his counter.
...
the straw that broke the camel's back came when i was handed a copy of the late edition of last thursday's evening post.
the story that has [sic] appeared on the front page of this newspaper in the morning had been lifted and reproduced without permission, or credit.
the people i had intereviewed had not been contacted and when one of them complained to the bristol evening post she was told her words had been taken from the clifton chronicle.
...
i have been forced to make a formal complaint to the statutory bodies which investigate such matters...
...
in the meantime, an army of mums from the bristol school of performing arts (
) in redland has volunteered to patrol newsagents and supermarkets to ensure that there is no more funny business..."
