15:3411129I have on many occasions put articles/letters into the Newspapers and one in particular always mis quotes or totally gets it wrong,today in this paper is a letter from me that should say 0% I will repeat it for any journalist reading this 0% so why when they print the letter does it become 90% and make complete nonsence of the letter,is this just a bad bit of journalism or mischief making.
This paper also printed a for let in a person death announcements,is the quality of newspaper slipping so far down the chain or is it cutting corners.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

15:4211130Oh yes this is the newspaper that ridicules people who make mistakes and put them in Dubris,perhaps they should put themselves in there.

16:0611132When I was five my family moved into a new housing development in North London. The local paper sent a photographer around and yet the resulting feature also included an interview with my mother that never happened. I have been reading misquotes, exagerations and fantasies ever since. No papers are blameless John.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

16:2411133You are right, there has been a typo. Apologies. I will rectify it on our next letters page which will be after the festive period.

17:0611136John I can totally empathise with you on that one. I submitted a press release to all the main local papers this week. It all read exactly the same and yet the DM manages to write that Junior Miss Dover is a PRINCESS as opposed to JUNIOR MISS DOVER.
I then have to explain to the youngsters that it wasn't something I had done.

20:5911164Yes, PACT has been in once but I will put it through for the new year edition. I have to jostle for space with Folkestone as we are sharing that edition (something to do with printing presses and the early deadlines) but should be ok

01:0811179John, how could I possibly ever disagree with my lovely wife?

15:0311226I hate all papers when they disagree with me and love them when they agree, the rest of the time I just accept that they have a take on things and read for the news and to know what people are saying and reading. I was massively misquoted in the Times recently but it hasn't stopped me reading their entertaining review sections on a Sunday.
