Re: Accrington Observer

Ah,yes dear old Rowland,one of the last of his breed,profoundly deaf(not a good quality in a journalist)he was reknowned for always wearing umpteen layers of clothing even on the hottest summer day. One night he turned up in a breathless state to utter the immortal lines,'Stop the Press'.

Apparently one of his articles had been omitted and he was wanting the 14,000 papers already printed to be redone!
As a say last of the breed and a true Gentleman!
