Sheffield Headline Challenge: Mrs Beever’s Untreated Crack
HEADLINE Challenge time now, readers. The Sheffield Star reports on a Mrs Vera Beever who “was left waiting six months for a cracked window to be repaired“.
Mrs Beever said she reported the crack, caused by a rotten frame, at the start of February.
Go on:
After The Star passed on Mrs Beever’s complaint, Sanctuary dealt with the case as a priority and the work has now been carried out to her satisfaction.
Anyone got a headline? Anyone…?

The Daily Express had a prime example over the weekend of what can happen when you fiddle around with a headline. First edition The first edition of Saturday's paper carried the headline "Can Dec finally match Ant?" on a two-page feature about the ITV presenters, with the word "finally" cut between two pages. Final edition Apparently, there were too many headlines with "finally" in, so it was changed to "Can Dec at last match Ant?" But along the way, someone forgot to change both sides of the spread, leaving the "a" of "at" on one page and "nally" of "finally" on the other, creating the memorable headline "Can Dec anally match Ant?" in some later editions. - Guardian
