Devil, not devilled

southlandtimes1The new burger joint to open in Invercargill is called Devil Burger, not Devilled Burgers. We are sorry for the mistake.

 

Sanitiser, not scientist

southlandtimes1The word sanitiser was inadvertently changed to scientist yesterday when a page 1 story was being edited. We’re sorry for the confusion.

Recipe for disaster

southlandtimes1Does humble pie have swedes in it? Hereabouts it does. We’re sorry if you tried to make a swede cake based on the recipe we published on Saturday, because it wouldn’t have gone well. A production error sabotaged the recipe. We contrived to merge the last three items, which should have run with the following quantities: 1 cup oil, 1/2 cup sultanas, 1 cup crushed pineapple with juice.

Apology

southlandtimes1Yesterday’s front-page lead story, that convicted sexual predator Peter Jordan was related to notorious Southland woman Minnie Dean, was wrong. New Plymouth’s The Daily News newspaper, which provided the story, advised yesterday that Jordan was related to Cecil Guilford, a child who had been in Minnie Dean’s care. The Southland Times apologises for the error.

Death by media

southlandtimesIn yesterday’s story a subbing error incorrectly implied that Ben Heather’s grandfather had died. We’re sorry about that. He’s very much alive.
