As you read this, advance copies of Issue 367 are already spreading across the barony like fake blood, bent fangs and spilt Haribos in a gutter.
Page 1 of the November Spurtle begins briefly, continues shambolically, appeals nakedly and concludes with a plug.
We examine two kinds of invisibility on Page 2, two disappearances, three changes of use, opportunities, handwringing and new things to prohibit in public parks.
Page 3 contains cuboids, mischievous children, gift horses and traces of gunpowder where they don’t belong. Also: a labyrinthine interior, elevating tips, horror in the garden and the mysteries of resurfacing.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more exciting, Page 4 kicks off with a lobster. A new-ish café follows, as do exposed roots and the horrible slow extinction of levity.
Issue 367 comprises 4 pages so packed with hyperlocal news you may feel giddy between paragraphs. Take your time. Paper copies are available in all the usual shops, pubs, libraries and plastic dispensers across Broughton and beyond (see map here). Pdfs are available across the world from our website after midnight on the 1st of the month.
Remember! We depend on readers for news, views, reviews, photos and unattributable gossip.
