Spotted in the local paper this week:
"A firm's account manager who fiddled the books to enable him to steal more than £180,000 has been warned he is 'almost invariably' facing a prison sentence."
Has this happened before or did the reporter misread his/her shorthand for 'almost inevitably'?
A report on an inquest, despite being sad, made me smile. The deceased "underwent the operation, to repair damage cause by a tumour in his naval cavity and skull". This time I feel sure it was finger trouble and the reporter meant nasal.
More on the health front meant that a young lad was reported to have had "an operation to remove my Gaul bladder". I had no idea that one of our body parts was French!
At least it kept me amused.
