===Holes in the road===
On 17 January 1967, the ''Mail'' published a story, "The holes in our roads", about [[pothole]]s, giving the examples of [[Blackburn]] where it said there were 4,000 holes. This detail was then immortalised by [[John Lennon]] in [[The Beatles]] song "[[A Day in the Life]]", along with an account of the death of 21-year-old [[socialite]] [[Tara Browne]] in a car crash on 18 December 1966, which also appeared in the same issue.<ref>{{cite journal|title = The Origins of "A Day in the Life"|publisher=Apple Corps|journal=The Beatles: Selected Items from My Personal Memorabilia Collection}}</ref>
