I love things like this. Thanks, Brian.

I gave up buying newspapers years ago, but I have a very old copy of "Private Eye's Bumper Book of Boobs". Here are some entries from it, of genuine headlines from yesteryear:

The Times:
Queen Sees Fonteyn Take 10 Curtains
Goldfish Is Saved From Drowning

Evening Standard:
Man Found Dead in Graveyard
Filming In Cemetery Angers Residents
Nixon Picks His Spot

The Times Educational Supplement:
Five Girls Under 16 have Abortions Every Day

Western Gazette:
Mounting Problems for Young Couples

Evening Argus:
Spare Our Trees - They Break Wind

...and possibly my favourite:

DURING NUCLEAR ATTACK THERE WILL BE A SCHOOL HOLIDAY --official
