Owing to the combination of inclement weather conditions (howling blizzards) and unfavourable local circumstances (howling wolves chasing Spurtle paperboys up and down Broughton Street), there is every chance that some delays may occur in this morning's distribution of the December issue.
We apologise for any inconvenience and respectfully point out that it's a miracle there are any copies out there at all.
Further online stories will continue to be posted to this site during the next few hours and days.
