I am indebted to Fleet Street Blues for spotting what it rightfully bills as one of the best deadpan newspaper intros of all time.
It comes from yesterday's Leicester Mercury:
The Lord Mayor of Leicester has offered his "deepest apologies" after his trousers fell down at an educational event for schoolchildren.
If you want to know more about Councillor Colin Hall's embarrassment - go on, you know you do - the story can be found on the Mercury site under the equally deadpan headline: Lord Mayor's trousers fall down at children's event
