Still, if it helps the business, what harm?

Still, if it helps the business, what harm?

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, mistakes are easily made in the media business.

Working in the Internet as we do, we at least have the luxury of being able to correct mistakes, a luxury denied to newspapers. As soon as it’s printed, there’s no turning back.

We bet the Suffolk Free Press wish they could turn back the clock after publishing an interview with Phoebe Cripps, who provides vintage food truck catering for weddings, parties, events and festivals.

Why? Well, have a look at the sub-headline below and you’ll see for yourself.

At least Phoebe herself didn’t seem to mind.

Insiders say this was the scene in the Suffolk Free Press sub-editing department when they realised the mistake.

Hat-tip to the girls at Her.ie for this one
