Straight Outta Easton

Bristol’s Evening Post is not exactly renowned for the quality of its journalism. Perhaps that should be rephrased: Bristol’s Evening Post is well known the poor quality of its journalism; and today’s front page of the online edition does not disappoint, featuring the following advertisement:

The Post gets it wrong again

Yes, that’s right, according to the evening paper published when the good burghers of Bristol are stirring from their beds, Le Creuset is British! Merde alors!

With howlers such as these, I hope they are advertising for a decent sub-editor in the situations vacant columns.

*A croque monsieur, for those that don’t know, is a toasted ham and cheese sandwich – that well-known favourite of French cafĂ© society.
