I wasn't going to comment on the demise of the News of The World, but then rediscovered this on a forgotten shelf. It's an 'O' Gauge tinplate advertisement for nailing up on the fence of Hornby railway stations. Before you ask, the Ashley Archive did grab one of the last copies of NOTW, running out of Sainsbury's with it in a plain wrapper. On reading it I have to say I was very tempted to light the fire with it, but as it's July, blah, blah. I can't help thinking that when this little tin poster was bought, the NOTW was an altogether different kettle of fish 'n' chip wrapper. More vicars caught with their trousers down in vestries than footballers shovelling coke up their noses. Maybe. We never had a Sunday newspaper in our house when I was running my clockwork trainset, and the habit was probably thought of as an integral part of the Devil's tentacles. (Or 'testicles', as an elderly country preacher once said, much to our infinite amusement.) Sharing the same shelf as this were tin ads for Woodbines, Gold Flake, Stephen's Ink and Shell Oil. All I need is a tinplate station fence.,

I sometimes wonder if model railways are the only place one can find 'that' England anymore.

I didn't buy the last NOTW, but I'm told the crossword clues were quite amusing.
'That' England does exist OSB; just keep coming to Unmitigated England for news! But you're right about model railways, a chance to create one's own fifedom of eternal cricketers coming up to bowl, ever patient passengers standing by footbridges waiting for the 7.20 and cassocked vicars caught mid stride in country churchyards.
Funnily enough, the day before the final issue was published I came across a similar full-sized advert, at Bewdley on the Severn Valley Railway.
Ooh I do like that sign Forest Pines. And the 'your name here' extension.

Everything said was very logical. But, what about this?
what if you added a little information? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a headline to possibly grab people's attention?
I mean "Tin News" is a little boring. You ought to look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create post titles to get viewers interested. You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers interested about everything've
written. In my opinion, it would make your website a little livelier.
