Randomly today I found out my Dad had been naughty during his youth and it made the local paper!! I am joined up to findmypast but only as a free member. However they mentioned in an email that I had some family mentions in newspapers! Indeed my dad is mentioned in an article on 15 September 1967 in the
Spalding Guardian, based in Spalding, Lincolnshire. I think he got in trouble for some fisty cuffs and I never knew a thing about it! Does anyone have fuller access who could tell me more? I was having a break from family research so don't want to buy a subscription for an article or two
The link I have is:

Thanks all
MJ
PS There's also an interesting article about, I assume my Grandad, not getting A turkey! All I can see is “It was unfortunate that Mr Fouldes did not get his turkey,”
This was on 02 January 1973
In the Lincolnshire Free Press, Spalding, Lincolnshire.
