On closer reading I am disappointed. I thought it was talking about a newly appointed dealership in the most populous ceremonial county in the United Kingdom.

The pedants would suggest it could have been less ambiguous if the Grauniad had used some capital letters in file naming:)

Wouldn't 'New' have got the confusing capital either way - as part of a proper noun or just the first word in the headline?

'Live free or die', they like to say in New Hampshire. I suppose this just makes that a little easier.
