right there.

As they say.

Stoke's finest, the paper formerly known as The Evening Sentinel. They trained typesetters for The Guardian. It took me years to find out what a shrdlu was*.

(*For those in the dark, Linotype hot metal typing machines had the keyboard laid out with the most common letters used in English - e,t,a,o,i,n and s,h,r,d,l,u - nearest the operator. There being no equivalent to the carriage return handle or enter key on these machines, if a line was typed incorrectly the operator would run their finger down one of these columns, the metal would then be cut out, and the line re-typed correctly. The Sentinel's typesetters frequently forgot to remove many of these mistakes. "Billy Liar On The Moon" by Keith Waterhouse has a superb parody of this, where some of the characters appear upside-down.)

No wonder I am in the mess I am in as I have had a drum habit for 40+ years .

That happened when I was still working for the paper, but have long since lost.
It went along the lines: 'We mistakenly stated that Mr X was jailed for being in possession of quantity of drugs, he was, in fact, fined for possessing a quantity of stolen rugs. We apologise for any inconvenience this caused.'
The sub, a shit hot whizz kid brought in from a national to revolutionise the desk, was carpeted for the mistake.

...he should have been taken to the cleaners.
