Why is it that this otherwise great magazine commits such glaring editorial howlers?
In the latest issue on Page 30 the Cotswolds have been re-located to the Lake District in the map and on page 107 in the top right hand corner is a description reading "FAR LEFT: Washingpool Farm CL" when the picture shown is, according to the sign on the gate, that of "Higher Brandy Style Caravan Site".
I'd like to know what highly paid twit is checking for this sort of thing because if I can pick them up just casually browsing through the magazine, surely an editorial professional should be doubly hawk-eyed?
I was in the printing industry for over 40 years and learned very early in my career that such sloppiness attracted severe censure although I suppose in this day and age it will just be shrugged off.
With the magazine costing £3.60 per issue, I think the readership deserves better. People rely on the magazine for accuracy of information given.
