News just in… After much deliberation by our Halloween panel, chaired by Take That singer and fancy dress-shop owner Mark Owen, we can now announce the winners of the 2013 Beckworth’s Best Halloween costumes. Winner of the under 18s was local schoolboy and busking sensation Jake Bugg (you’ve probably seen him playing his guitar outside the bank) and the adults winner was grocer’s daughter and local “entertainer” Lady Gaga. An overjoyed and shocked Miss Gaga was quoted as saying “I’m shocked and totally overjoyed” before explaining “I had only popped out to post a letter and buy some fags!” When asked about her costume Lady replied “To be honest i’d forgotten it was halloween and was only dressed in my old housework clothes.” Well done to both our worthy winners.
