www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1217287_charlatans_hit_tv_screens_with_chocolate_ad I cannot believe the huge mistake they have made in this article. The West Midlands is not in Manchester and thankfully never will be! I cannot believe that such a big local paper can make such a silly mistake of not knowing where a band comes from.

That's journalism these days, my friend. That's why I'm glad I'm well out of it. Did you hear the bit on TV (I think it was) last week, with the stupid young journo (gender omitted) demanding of a scientist 'so when can people expect flights to get back to normal?' He said 'It's a volcano...' It even got a mention on the News Quiz. Reply to this message | Report message

Well it's not really a huge mistake in that peoples' lives are at risk - more of an error Remember that band who did the lame Strawberry Fields cover in the early 90s? Can't remember who, but I remember seeing them in an interview describing themselves as coming from South Manchester. Guess how far South? Stoke. Reply to this message | Report message

Eh? A respondent to the article claimed that the majority of the group are from the Midlands, rather than the journo. Reply to this message | Report message

They don't have journalists any more, they just print press releases. That's how so much carp gets printed. No brain is involved in any part of the process. JH Reply to this message | Report message

It's not just the papers - BBC 'news' this morning, some bloke is interviewing Terry Leahy of Tesco, who explains how some goods like flowers are being flown into Spain and then trucked to the UK. He finished speaking and the presenter says something along the lines of 'So - flowers and the like - how are you dealing with them ?' Reply to this message | Report message

P, how do you know it's a howler? It could be getting closer. Next thing it'll be in East Angular, where-ever that is :-) JH Reply to this message | Report message

All the type, except that directly input by journalists, for the last newspaper group I worked for is now set in India. My former colleagues tell me I wouldn't believe some of the carp that has to be sorted out when it arrives in the UK. Reply to this message | Report message

I lost work to a design agency based in India a few years ago. A few months later it was all back on my desk because every single job was coming back in a complete state. Reply to this message | Report message
