Before the games console, families across the world enjoyed getting together to play board games, with hours of fun being had playing Monopoly and Cluedo.

But would you have been so keen to play games such as Grade Up to Elite Cow and the curiously titled Lose Your Shirt?

Curators at a Leeds museum say they have unearthed a "quirky collection" of odd board games from their Waddingtons collection.

The games company was based in Leeds from 1922, but is now owned by Hasbro.

If you fancied a game of Lose Your Shirt from 1976, you'd have been treated to a horse racing-themed game where players would bet on the outcome with the risk of "losing their shirt".

But the oddest one has to be Grade Up To Elite Cow from 1986...

It was made with the backing of the British Friesian Cattle Society of Great Britain and Ireland and was billed as "a game of skill and chance for dairy farmers".

All we can say is thank goodness Mr Playstation decided to invent the games console...

Rockingham Colliery Cricket Club was established in Hoyland Common in the 1930s and continued to be based at the Rockingham sports ground even after the closure of the colliery.

Several years ago Barnsley Council announced it planned to use the site for a job creation project because of its close proximity to the M1.

That was dependent on the council finding an alternative home for the club and it now appears no suitable site is available.

A fire on the A1(M) northbound after a car transporter and a refrigerated lorry crashed just after 07:00 this morning is now out, according to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.

Most of the crews have left the scene, the fire service has confirmed, and emergency teams are now removing some of the contents of the lorry.

Four Sheffield tree campaigners have been given a date when they're due to appear in court for alleged breach of a High Court injunction granted last July.

The campaigners say they're dismayed by this after the recent pause in tree-felling and apparent signals of compromise by the new cabinet member, Lewis Dagnall, at Sheffield Council.

The tree felling is part of Sheffield City Council's £2bn Streets Ahead project, aimed at improving roads and footpaths in the city. About 5,500 trees have been cut down since 2012.

The council, which is planting new trees after removing existing ones, insists the trees earmarked for felling are either "dangerous, dead, diseased, dying, damaging or discriminatory".

However, many of the trees classed by the council as "damaging" or "discriminatory" are healthy specimens which campaigners say should be saved.

Instead, they say amendments should be made to surrounding pavements and roads.

Emergency services are still at the scene of a serious accident and blaze on the A1(M) northbound which has closed part of the motorway.

It happened just after 07:00 between Junction 50 at Baldersby and Junction 51 at Leeming Bar and involved a refrigerated lorry and a car transporter.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service says so far its crews have used about 10,000 litres of water tackling the subsequent fire.

The northbound carriageway is expected to remain closed for most of the day with diversions now in place.

Here's the latest picture from near the scene of the crash:
