“CONFUSED BANSTEAD, When the story first appeared on 31st Dec, there were two spelling errors. One was Kingswood, the other was Ashtead. Both had spelling errors. But of course they were then corrected, but left my comments which made you think I had made the mistake. PS, I was very sober!”

“What are you on about Mike? Looks OK to me - have you been overdoing the New Year celebrations?”

“Does the Surrey Mirror not have spellchecker? Where is Knigswood? A proud moment reporting a local resident getting an OBE, & the local paper cannot even print his correct home area, shame.”
