Paper recalls issue over unfortunate name misspelling
A report from Holdthefrontpage.co.uk:
Hundreds of copies of a free weekly newspaper had to be recalled last Friday after a mis-spelled picture caption left staff red-faced.
Last week’s Ludlow Journal featured a front-page picture story about a belltower captain called Tony Fuller who had organised a training event for young would-be bellringers.
Unfortunately the picture caption rendered the name “Tony Fuller” as “Tiny Fukker.”
It is understood that staff at the paper, which is part of Shropshire Newspapers, were alerted to the error on Friday by Mr Fuller himself…
Oh, to have been a fly on the wall for that discussion. The offending caption:
Thanks, Daniel!
