Ushering in hayfevery August a full 24 hours early, Spurtle’s Issue 243 arrives in outlets the length and breadth of the barony and beyond from today.
Poilitics, planning, questionably spent pennies and a primal scream dominate Page 1. Further in we have fires, food, fairies, flats, France and the latest eclipse.
Look out also for news of bins supplied and dins avoided, repeated arrivals and departures once in a blue moon, tennis, golf, amazing regulations, two kinds of outraged parents, murder, and mysterious disappearing advertisements.
If it sneezes in Broughton, Spurtle is first with a handkerchief.
You can pick up a copy in all the usual spots: pubs, clubs, cafés, newsagents, galleries, hair salons, houses of ill-repute, bike shops, barbers, greengrocers, fishmongers, libraries, book emporiums, restaurants and bakers. If you think we’ve missed somewhere, let us know.
Alternatively, you can download August's issue as a colourful pdf by clicking on the top-right image that will appear on our Homepage from midnight tonight.
