Paper Monitor

10:28 UK time, Wednesday, 30 November 2011

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

You'd think there was enough troubling news around, what with the chancellor's grim economic forecast and acrimonious public sector strikes.

But the papers still find plenty of other unsettling stories to fill their pages.

Take the tale of Ross Dance, who bit into his Nando's chicken wrap to find a live frog (or, as the Sun's inimitable house style has it, ).

"I felt really ill," Mr Dance tells the paper, entirely understandably. And just so we can share his nausea, the article is accompanied by a large photograph of the semi-chewed amphibian.

Or there is the disturbing story, covered by Metro and the Daily Mail's online edition, about a woman whose boyfriend after she was allegedly unfaithful.

But sometimes from tragedy, or at least farce, comes comedy. The story about a lorry load of Marmite being spread across the M1 motorway is, predictably, a goldmine for headline writers.

Paper Monitor enjoyed the Independent's But this column's favourite is the Daily Mirror's more straightforward (but sadly not replicated online)
