I want to go home

Work sucks today. In what is probably my biggest f***-up since starting with the paper, I managed to confuse two villages almost 100 miles apart in a front page story in last week's edition.

So I have spent most of this morning sorting that out, a process involving talking to one press officer, the editor of the paper and a member of the Scottish Parliament.

I just have a feeling that it's going to be a very long day....

Well, at least they were in the same country, right?

Yeah, I at least managed that. It's the danger of failing to spot that two separate press releases were talking about Tarbert (note the two Rs) and Tarbet (only one R). Not a massive mistake, but I could do without on deadline day!
