Paper Monitor

12:19 UK time, Wednesday, 11 July 2007

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

So it's like this. In Stoke-on-Trent, the powers that be have fluffed their implementation of the smoking ban, leaving punters puffing away in pubs as the officials are powerless.

What would you guess the Daily Mirror and Sun headline is? Seriously. Guess.

If you guessed "Smoke-on-Trent" then a job in newspaper subbing clearly awaits you.

In the Independent, there is yet another poster front. Paper Monitor wonders if anyone out there knows the last time the Indy actually had a story on the front. The first e-mail in will win the small prize of recognition in tomorrow's Paper Monitor.

The paper warns of "MORTGAGE MADNESS". But what's this inside, it's a 28-page property pull-out, crammed with adverts so that you too can join the "madness".

The Sun enjoys trumpeting its exclusive (although the Times also claims the story) on the Cheshire mum, 51, who is marrying Osama Bin Laden's son, 25. And as usual, sage advice comes from Page 3, where Ruth, 24, from Kent, counsels against the new bride taking her groom's name.

It's Wednesday, the Wimbledon mixed doubles final was on Sunday and yet the papers still can't get over the whole "is-there-anything-going-on-between-Jamie-Murray-and-Jelena-Jankovic" thing.

The Sun quotes Jelena as saying Jamie is in love with her. In Allison Pearson's Daily Mail column they are described as an "ace couple".

Bored now.
