Sustaining a Proud Traidtion

The Graun's spelling errors this weekend:

There were several spectacular misspellings in the map accompanying the feature Not so fast, page 6, Travel, August 18: Clare, not Clair College is in Cambridge; Princes Risborough, not Prince Rosborough is in Buckinghamshire; Salisbury, not Sailsbury is in neither Whitshire nor Whitleshire but in Wiltshire; and the adjoining county is Dorset, not Dorest.

Mountain biking was subjected to "a fair bit of peddling" and the "need to peddle" in Coasting all the way, page 10, Travel, August 18. Pedalling and pedal were the appropriate actions.

One of the Irish youth teams that Andy Keogh played for was Cabinteely, not Cabin Telly (Scouting report, page 12, Sport, August 21).

Apropos of nothing, I'm glad to tell you that I attended three matches at Glanford Park, Scunthorpe's home ground, where Andy Keogh put in fine performances.

Oh, and thanks for getting rid of the terrible security thing preventing me from commenting on this fine site.

Hi Bock. Obviously, you weren't the intended target. Comment all you want. Haven't seen you over at Manuel recently tho.

I wasn't invited.

You have to send a request to manuel.estimulo@gmail.com. That's all.

Nice to see some place still has worse typos than even I manage!

I think I might have something in common with Groucho on that one.
