SOME DAY IT’LL DO THE RIGHT THING!
DO you remember the time when “Smith’s Weekly” had a front page to say that Alan Kippax was through as a batsman, and ought to be dropped from the State side? And the same day Kippax made a double century, and has been making centuries ever since!
Last Wednesday “Smith’s Weekly” published a wild screed attacking the “Sun” for its heat wave stories. Wednesday was the hottest day for two years; Wednesday night the hottest for 19 years, and Thursday hotter and hotter. It’s a shame the way “Smith’s” points out the errors of others, and always misses the bull’s eye itself. Someday “Smith’s Weekly” will do something right, and someone will get the sack. “Smith’s” bosses will think it’s wrong!
