    I was meandering through a Midland newspaper dated July 1917 (as you do) and came across the following short article. I include it for your views.

    Has to be said, the quality of journalism in those days is so much more eloquent than the trash written today, I think I'd actually buy a newspaper if it was written like that.Oh, and Obviously nessie was on holliers.
