Like you say. You get what you pay for! 😀

It was something called “Short List”, free every Thursday apparently.

A similiar crock of journalistic licence appeared in my local free rag a week or two ago. This report concerned an Indian pop star who modelled his wedding on his favourite Bollywood film. The journo reported that a fleet of stretched limousines took the guests and bridal couple from Potters Bar up to Cambridge Airport, where everybody boarded a luxury jet. When airborne the guests were apparently served a meal prepared by the best Indian restaurant in the area. The airliner was due to be accompanied on the trip by ‘a Second World War Russian fighter’.
The article was completed by a group photo posed in front of the luxury jet, which turned out to be an Air Atlantique DC3.

I found this article in something they were handing out for free outside Euston today which might amuse;

“Superjumbo (A380) stats you need to know;

7. Is the third largest plane ever built after the Ukrainian Cossack and the ‘Spruce Bruce’.

10. Airbus couldn’t find a plant big enough to build the plane, so built it in bits in Wales, Germany, Spain and France, and shipped it to an assembly facility in Toulouse.”

You get what you pay for.:rolleyes:

1: It is built entirely from recycled balsa wood
2: It is more agile than a Eurofighter typhoon
3: It was delivered in record time and under budget, the extra budget being gifted to under-privelliged bolivian cabbage farmers..

😀 😀 😀 😀

Speaking as a card-carrying journo. Blooming priceless!!

Which title was it. I want a copy to frame!! :rolleyes:

… and the ‘Spruce Bruce’.

The reporter was probably confused by an American accent.:D

‘Spruce Bruce’.

Someone call?….. :diablo:
