Noticed a lot more people recently turning up here having looked for spoof stories or spoof story, mostly as a result of this spoof story (sorry, seems to have since vanished!) about Dickens World.
Wonder if it's just coincidence that people are trawling for spoof stories around the time that a chum's blog1 points out there's another free sheet in London2, this one called The Tart2. Looks like it's aiming somewhere between Metro and The Onion3.
If you're looking for a comedy news type thing that doesn't clutter up railway platforms, I recommend newsbiscuit.com4. I did some tech stuff on there.
