KatyNews.com will consider any serious story. Come back with something the public will believe?

Stop Press! Hang on...three aged gentlemen have been seen hitching on Broadway. Witnesses said they had small bottles of aromatherapy oil and were heading in an easterly direction...

[cornykev]

Is there any connection between the 3 men and the bright light thats been seen over Oldhams football ground.  ???    :-\     ;D ;D ;D

[katynewbie]

 ???

The light is just the usual stellar activity caused by being the ground which is highest above sea level, or maybe it's the fact that the team achieved a draw recently?

Your Ace Reporter is on the case...

I'm hearing reportst that its the floodlights coming on, but other reports that there is a bright star like shape across town.  ;D ;D ;D

Ace Reporter can exclusively reveal that it's not floodlights, just the routine burning of a car on one of the local estates.

It is a little known fact that Oldham has many festivals throughout the year, this week it is Petrolicus Day, a celebration of all things Clarkson.

Broadway is in Oldham????

Tsk, well known fact that the U S of A pinched it from the home of cotton in the late 1900's.

Along with Holland stealing a certain kind of wooden footwear and the fashion for headscarves in the 1960's. Women of a certain age still speak of a time when one walked out on a saturday afternoon with a scarf tied over the rollers. It proved that one had somewhere to go later that night!

Nice to see the women of Oldham keeping up the tradition of the head scarves even if they tend to cover up more of the face nowdays.  :o      ;D ;D ;D

[katynewbie]

Yep, it's a tradition enjoyed by all members of our multicultural population. The guys find it a bit restricting though...

So, a Serious Question for our Ace Reporter who shoorly knows everything...has Santa got an older brother...one with arthritis praps who needs warmer climes ? Cos I know that the Real Santa's in the Frozen North but I've been getting prezzies with his name on them from the Amazon.. ::) ;D

FOR GOODNESS SAKE! It is a little known fact that Cliff Claus exists. Please do not advertise it. He has a franchise with The Amazon and has subcontracted logistics to them. He sussed early on that his bro would struggle with a "just on time" response, so thought it was time to get some 21st century thinking into it.

Maybe this should be moved to The Watershed so that younger eyes are not distressed?!
