Pic: Now this is what we call a newspaper correction

Nothing’s more important than cold hard facts…

Nothing’s more important than cold hard facts…

We love a good newspaper correction story here, and the best ones tend to fall into one of two catagories. Either they are hilariously unintentional mix-ups, like this cracker or they are utterly irrelevant but corrected as if they were deadly serious. This one is in the latter camp.

Tweeted by @marktech yesterday, this correction published in the Buxton Advertiser is a classic of the ‘small detail’ genre.

They say it is the little things that matter I suppose…

There but for the grace of God etc…
