I agree that the Mail has gone right down the crapper over the years, but
the Express has done very well indeed of late. They were about the only
MSM source to call both Brexit and Trump wins correctly in advance and
their online comment writers are among the most switched-on and aware and
certainly *way* more enlightened than the Mail/Mirror/Sun/Star axis.


Here is another news item worthy of the Express - "Stopped clock gets
the time right /twice/ per day!".

I heard it as a question a few days ago, can;t remmebr the details
but it was which is best a stopped clock that gets the time right TWICE a day or a working clock that only gets to be right twice a year ?
(or something like that)

The answer was a clock that is right only twice a year.

I put once by mistake see above.
I think this was on QI.
