Some may have been amused by the Echo Newspaper being taken apart by Media Watch last week. The timing therefore could not be worse for their big anniversary dinner last night, when these mugs were handed out with independent spelt incorrectly. Oh the humanity. Oh the independance! If Jonathon Holmes sees this, I hope he doesn’t start singing Echo Beach. For some reason he was singing in last week’s show.

Ideal for drinking sour grapes
Whole thing reeks of typo. Is that a ‘J’? Should be Year’s.
The price of these mugs will be surging on the black market.
Might be wrong, but isn’t there a case for saying 1985-2010 is actually 26 years?
I didn’t dare count it.
Without local government press releases to fall back upon, the Echo staff obviously struggled with the text for the mug.
Sent this page off to Media Watch.
If that’s what you think of The Post, I dread to think of the invective you have for Community.
How can they afford a piss up after DFOC’s ruined them ?
off piste…
article from The Grauniad in which famous musicians are asked to recount their favourite moment on stage. For some reason they asked Luke “Lord Gaga” Steele.

What a cunt.
Does Luke Steel have a mirror?
A magic mirror
…with an attached spoon judging by his Heather Graham rollerskates straight from Boogie Nights coke flashback.
I immediately thought of Cookster
what happened to him?
too busy wankling.
I think he’s sleeping out for charity.

You’ve better eyes than me, as I can’t see the typo. Fascinating read though. I’m actually thinking about changing my moniker to Daile Fan #1.

Ego is not a dirty word.
I thought, perhaps hopefully, they’d ditched her lo-fat Sex and the City style words.

The industry has voted. The Echo are the biggest losers.

I agree. A lot of mistakes seem to be going uncorrected.
