A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it's all perfectly clear to the native speaker.
Tolstoy's Russian epic War and Peace is the inspiration for a headline in The Sun on a story that a Rolex watch which belonged to one of the prisoners of war who inspired the film The Great Escape is expected to fetch £50,000 at auction. The headline reads 'War And Timepiece'. The word timepiece can be used to describe any instrument - such as a clock or watch - used for measuring time.
