    More Yorkshire news: there's a nasty rumour that Mr Humphrey has been sectioned.

    Not sure whether anybody previously shared a strong contender for the Humph story of the year: Boss of pub chain Sam Smith, 74, is spotted staring at a mobile in a Wetherspoon's - despite BANNING phones in his pubs to 'encourage genial conversation'

    I run a mile from genial conversation, and glue myself to my phone, even in a micro. Never go to a Humph-ery.

    Dunno if it's Humphrey or not, but it's certainly The Edwin Waugh (JD Wetherspoon)
