Oh dear!

I have just been looking on Facebook and there is post from our local paper taking you to a link to their website with an article about Sunday nights explosion and someone being hurt and taken to hospital.

It doesn't name any names thankfully and I think it must have come from the fire brigade but I have just rung them and had a real go as it makes out that the injured man was the one who poured petrol on the fire in the first place.

The person I spoke to just said "but it doesn't give his name" and didn't quite get it when I explained that no, it might not give his name but lots of people know that he was injured and he will be very upset to see an article that basically blames him for putting the petrol on the fire.

They have said that they will change it and that it hasn't yet been sent to print. I will wait and see and ring and give them hell in the morning if they haven't. Fortunately Mick hasn't seen it yet so I will keep quite about it for now and hope that he doesn't see it until it is changed!

I hope they do too Debih, I had a look and it does have that bit in brackets, as though it's not finished, hopefully they'll delete it.

Good!

Woo hoo! Well done! Just be careful what you say to them, never know what they might print. Good on them for making the change to get the story right.

That's very sloppy reporting!!!! I'm glad you spotted it Debih and got it changed - Mick really didn't need that on top of everything!
