Have you or someone you know ever been in your local newspaper?
 

a few months ago a few people i went to school with were in the paper because they had been jailed for drug dealing.

thats about it.

Me, I was in Local newspaper.

They wanted me to look angry as the local Enfield Town park pool was closed, like a kiddies water pool thing outside.

The funny thing is we already had a swimming pool at home lol :hehe:

It was about 2008 I think.

My nan has it framed in hall.

a tweet my mum made about the government was in the Daily Mirror

I've never been in the newspaper but I've been on the news twice. Once on BBC news because my primary did a fundraising event for Help For Heroes and one just this year when Ian McKellen came to Wigan and me and my friend represented my school at the event

Only 3 times :smug: lol

Twice when I was younger (I wrote a poem in English class that my mum sent to the paper and they printed it. And I wrote a song with my guitar teacher that my mum sent to the paper and they printed it.)
And once when I was at the swimming pool they were writing an article about the leisure centre and me and a bunch of other people were in the photo.
I should totally be on CBB.

I was knocked down as a kid and made the Yorkshire Evening Post :D

I was quoted in the Telegraph I guess

I had my artwork in the local paper when I was 10. :hee:

Yes, my ex ŵas the local bigwig gangster and he made all the National papers...front page:blush:
Also when younger we had a big stabbing incident outside our house, all people involved were known to us and the police took the blood soaked throw off our sofa away. Made the local papers and the radio.

Yeah I was in my local paper when me and my friend ran a tuck shop and also when it was my birthday I was in it once or twice. Also when I received an award I was in it a few times

One of my ex co workers who was a known liar was in the paper recently claiming he thought off a gang armed with knives surejan.gif

A few times, I remember one incident of me chewing a sausage...

Yeah. A level results day I got my picture used for some reason.

Just once....as i were coming out of my local Co-op, there were photographers and the local independent politician, they seemed to pounce on me and shuffled me towards the politician, they asked me....."how do you feel about the closure of the local community hall?" I honestly didn't even know it were closing, so i just said....."oh....that's terrible...." and then they took a photo and said...."thank you..." to me, before sort of shoving me away.....i think i just didn't register what had actually happened, i got home looked in the mirror and realised no make up and hair a complete mess!!!

Well later on that week there i was page 6 stood with the local independent politician, looking a complete mess, and to make matters worse where i worked were all piss takers so i arrived to find my sewing machine covered in newspaper cut outs of me and said politician.......very embarrassing:blush:

I was in it for voluntary work at a charity shop. I didn't mind but about 2 years after it was taken I realised the article had been on a bulletin board thing in my school for all that time and I had no idea about it :/

Yes quite often about the weather or weather related events, sometimes i write articles too

:hee:

That's cool!:thumbs:

I was in it when I was a kid after winning a dancing competition. I've been in a few times for school netball / rounders things too.

My parents were in the paper a lot for fundraising.

My brother was in the paper because he was killed in a serious road crash when he was 17 (we were hounded by the press for months even going to the trouble of wearing disguises and knocking on the door to get some info, vile creatures)

A few people I went to high school with have been in the 'casebook' section of the local paper for crimes.

And a couple of people I went to high school with and hung about with are footballers now so they have been in the paper too

Oh also I coloured in a pic for farmfoods when I was about 8 and won a piggy bank with 10 pound coins in it, that was in the local paper

I was a flower girl in the local galaday and then in the neighbouring towns fair and that was in the paper

woow thats hardcore to lose your brother like that Josy. What a terrible thing for your family.

My brother and his dog appeared on the front page of our local paper. He had sent in a video for that You've been framed tv thing. He and the dog(border collie) could head the ball to each other. Someone filmed them heading the ball to each other 29 times before it hit the ground. They still show it on tv every now and then.

A few times in random school photos they took of us when we did an event for charity or if a general random event was happening & a couple of times at the back for football/cricket

I've been naked in the local paper before.

I've done page 3

Sorry to hear about your brother Josy.
