Other city's to kick back in

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

NO WAY!

Yep, fraid so, GDG (don't smirk ) - historically they always had endearing typo problems (hence Grauniad, which was an in-house typo ), but now they have computers instead of typesetters there is no excuse.

Maybe they had a Work Experience 15-yr-old in the subs department that week...

And in the travel section, there was a large heading that said Cumbia, as opposed to Cumbria.

22-year-olds write for the Grauniad. They are not much different from 15-year-olds. Whatever Katie Melua may think.

Historically the subs desk on the Grauniad didn't have a revise bench. I don't know what their excuse is these days.
