Perfect headline for Friday Is Funday

Praise for mental health services

Unfortunately, the article itself is three lines long. But I love the name of the publication: Barking and Dagenham Recorder. Doesn't that sound like a business out of a Monty Python sketch? It's worthy of Evelyn Waugh, or better still, Mark Helprin's Freddy and Fredericka, which I'm reading now and which is totally delicious Brit satire.

But a good headline!
