Yeah, you're not paying her wages. She's probably got an extra week of holiday for nothing.

I was in a local fish and chip restaurant earlier this week and two sixty year old-ish chaps were talking about declining standards in Southend.

When their meals arrived one of them had ordered a jacket potato with prawn cocktail filling.

If you are upset why not leave a bullet on her desk with her name engraved on it?

Worked for me when a colleague microwaved some peppered mackerel at lunchtime.

I was in the Print Industry for 22 years 73-95, when it was still a skilled profession.
In that time, 'Readers' were employed to check every story for the errors you mention, & they were then sent back to the keyboard 'tappers' to correct them.
But the time came, when 'those upstairs who know best???' decided to do away with the 'Readers' to save money.
Hence the shocking amount of typo errors read on a daily basis.

Yeah back in the day my Mum used to type the stop press (remember that?) and proof check at the Echo

Do a jobby in a biscuit tin, lock it in her desk drawer then superglue the lock.a classic. Ps make sure to punch holes in the tin.

Personally, I gave up reading newspapers a few years ago. If I ever read one now, it’s the odd occasion that someone in work has brought one in. And whilst I briefly scan through it, it’s patently obvious to see how the general public get corralled into forming their opinions.

There is still good journalism out there but it's often buried in a sea of Dr*we Br*ughton.

What I tend to do these days is read the headlines and guess the newspaper. About half the headlines are fairly obvious which newspaper it will be. A quarter are about 50:50 guesses and the remaining quarter are more wildcards. It's interesting to see how newspapers often spin the same story or how they prioritise certain stories above others. I often find that more interesting than the story they are reporting on.

Or a hard stare like Paddington.

Yeah I think I'll go with this one......

I doubt they gave it away, the various sports just got greedy and Sky have bottomless pits of money. The WWC is free to air and if you don't want to watch it there are a myriad of other channels.

@Benfleet A1, Sounds like a great opportunity for a bacon or sausage sandwich on crusty white bread washed down with a decent cup of coffee. **** the diabetis for once eh?

Civil Enforcement. Dressing like the police and talking like the police doesn't make you the police. If you want to stop HGV's parking in a disused lay-by then put some ****ing signs up.
