Now there is nothing more embarrassing than discovering you
have got a story so wrong.
But it happens even though on this one I should have known
better.
The story featured the Imperial
War Museum North, and carried the caption “In celebration of the new Salford
......... nu1 the Imperial War Museum North.”
And quick as a flash both George and Bill pointed out that
actually “the Imperial War Museum is in Stretford, Trafford, on Trafford Wharf,
you have to cross the Ship Canal from Salford to get to it. We have little
enough in Stretford to boast about as it is and would like our boundaries left
as they are. Not in Salford, in Stretford.”
This is not the first time I have muddied the boundaries and
for that I fully apologise and in future will look at the map rather than make
lazy assumptions.
But underlying the mistake and the corrections is the
positive one that people do go to the trouble of pointing out where I went
wrong.
So the old story has been pulled which is quite correct and
this one has been substituted.............. should really have passed O level Geography.
