Laurel and Hardy would be proud.
In Friday’s Courier it is our indubitably great pleasure to introduce you to a fella who is in a right fine mess.
John Leech is cross.
Cross because he has been fined £120 for a crime he insists he didn’t commit.
Bur far from bid to escape the talons of justice, he has agreed to cough up the fine.
Which would be fine (as it were). Had he not told court staff he would pay in coppers. Thousands of them.
We investigate.
And it will you be that will be paying the penalty* if you miss all the latest from that pesky exploding weather bomb.
The Forth Bridge closed and all that it was snow joke for many.
Christmas is coming but for goodness sake stop stockpiling booze.
That’s the message from the Rozzers in Fife.
And why shouldn’t we stock up on a little of what we fancy ahead of a seasonal binge?
Why, because our teenage kids might nick it and then unleash an orgy of drunken violence on the streets of course.
We find out more.
At least there is some good news, as Perth panto kicked off in style.
Oh yes it did.
Or, more accurately, oh no it didn’t.
We have more on the disappointing cancellation of the showpiece performance.
Friday is notable in many ways. It marks the traditional end to the working week and more importantly it heralds the arrival of a quite wonderful Courier. Please make sure you don’t miss it. Or you could always try our digital edition. Just saying.
