A quote

From our local newspaper's web site:

" Gritters started the first run yesterday at 4pm with a 40g drop on all main routes.

Following this, they continued on continuously throughout the night

Ploughs were used from at midnight and ploughing took place using 3 vehicles on plough routes until 2am. "

If the person who wrote this is supposed to be literate, Heaven help us.

Gee, for a second I got so hung up on this that I almost forgot to look at the one to the left.

The one on the left could be Alan? But the newspaper web site - I think I should submit that the the Campaign for Real English.

Of course I really meant the Plain English Campaign.
