The Newsletter is the oldest daily newspaper in the world Tom and some time ago when they were celebrating their 250th birthday, they put out a series of copies of some of their early editions which made very interesting reading. There were sporting reports of bear baiting and cockfights in Belfast, which was really just a collection of small villages then, and also descriptions of hare and fox hunts, one of which ran their fox to ground in a culvert under what is now a city centre street. More recent sports reports have degenerated into accounts of on pitch rioting by rival football "supporters" (Linfield and Glentoran).....progress eh?

I lost my copies during a house move
