Petersfield Newswire: Hold the Front Page

The Newswire Team

Welcome to the Petersfield Newswire, the place to visit if you don't really want to find out what's happening, and prefer our take on the news instead . . .

There are (now) four masked men behind this irreverent look at the news in Petersfield.

They are, in descending order of bank balance and educational qualification:

Clint - Creative genius and sharp dresser

DJ - world-class barrack-room lawyer and renowned grump

Frank - snapper, ale critic and coffee-shop reviewer

Cyrano - ace foreign correspondent and romantic poet

Very few of the people featured in these news items exist. And very few news stories have any basis in fact. But stranger things have happened . . .
