Yeah, but what about proof reading in Private Eye?
In the last issue that reached me, Dumb Britain had an item asking who became the first black man to win the Wimbledon singles – in 1985. Which would surprise Boris Becker (and indeed Arthur Ashe).
On the same double page I found at least two other errors. (I’ve not got it with me right now, but I recall that one of them confused “reigns” with “reins”.)

Surely that is the correct Chekov spelling of the word? As in Ensign Chekov, he of the monkees haircut and swashbuckling manner.

🙂 … incidentally, apologies, meant to get back to you re the music thing. We are of a similar ilk. Scary sometimes… the music collection now spans decades – ones I lived through 😦 No. Wait. That’s a good thing…

But am I the only one here who’s actually gone to see the Monkees?
