My dad who is more Yorkshire than I often calls jacket style coats windjammers so having turbines off a coat perhaps makes sense.
Still, it highlights the cuts at this once proud newspaper.

Cue loads of smart jokes and puns but as a 317-year-old curmudgeon can anyone seriously explain how this got so far? Honestly… no messing. How on earth did this happen?
