So someone at the Beeb hasn't passed their GCSE maths and gets geographical
information from outdated sources. Great innit?

p.s. it may well have changed as i've emailed em!

I emailed the Beeb a few weeks ago when they kept refering to a ship
as "The HMS Nonsuch" [1] on a news webpage.

They dropped the "The" within a couple of hours. Sometime ranting at
webpages gets a bit depressing, so I was glad to have made a
difference! By the way, you can check revisions of certain news

[1] It wasn't really called HMS Nonsuch; I just can't remember which
ship it was.
