A spelling error in last month's education white paper meant it had to be reprinted the day before publication at a cost of "just under £23,000". Education minister Lord Adonis, who made the admission in a written reply, blamed "minor drafting errors". A slogan was mistakenly spelt "Higer Standards, Better Schools for All". Liberal Democrat spokesman Baroness Walmsley said this raised questions about the "standard of literacy" among some Whitehall officials. Story from : BBC NEWS |

Lord Adonis? Jings if I didn't know better I wold have thot it was April. Twenty three grand for any sake, this is the kind of nonsense that goes on the whole time and is anybody actually held responsible for it? Does any of it come out of anybody's wages? No you bet it doesn't, except yours and mine - oh yes, then it comes out of somebody's wages alright. Sorry, thought I was in the Splutter Rant page for a minute there. |
