They are generally pretty bad, but I can't recall anything as awful as this...

Pretty sheepish that one Keith   ;)

On the subject of Newspaper headlines, one of the best ever was a few years back when Inverness Caledonian Thistle were a struggling Third division team but they beat Celtic in the cup. The headlines the next day: "Supercaligoballisticcelticareatrocious"!! :D

Perhaps this is where the rot started? Newspaper headline circa 1965:

        .   "DOCKS CRISIS: MINISTER STEPS IN"

My all time favourite was a local newspaper in Bedfordshire who ran a story about a German Shepherd, headlined with "Dog Dumped on Doorstep".

If you read the story, it became apparent that the dog had been abandoned at someone's front door. He hadn't done a poo there.
