Shock as Swindon is Hit By Volcanoes!
Ok, so it isn’t very “Brizzol” but I thought that I would share this gaff from the Swindon Evening Advertiser!
The Swindon Evening Advertiser’s headline writer was caught napping, when a headline caused panic in the city as the paper claimed Houses damaged as parts of the UK are hit by volcanoes."
Later the paper wrote a "250 explanation and apology ":http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/swindonnewsheadlines/display.var.1719818.0.panic_over_volcanoes_are_not_a_threat.php to clarify the matter…they were meant to write ‘tornadoes’ instead of ‘volcanoes’! However the letter by the paper only caused further confusion as it refered to Tuesday rather than Wednesday when the piece appeared…..
