Liverpool Daily Post - Sat 20 December 1980, 'No gay rights' at work, Homosexuals do not have the right to protection recommended in a Common Market ruling on sex discrimination at work, a Government Minister said yesterday. Employment Under-Secretary Mr Patrick Mayhew said in a Commons written reply he had no intention of seeking to extend the directive from the LLC to cover homosexuals.

Amid the gloom, this might be my favourite book cover I've seen for a long time, check out the Guinness label #ordinancesurvey
It's a book cover with a dog with his tongue wide out, as if drinking a guiness. Except the guiness is called 'Gravybones nectar'. The book is called Dog Friendly Walks in Cheshire.
