The Manchester Guardian Regrets the Errors...
From the Invaluable "Regret the Error:" The Year in Media Errors and Corrections:
The Guardian (U.K.): A reply to a question in Notes & Queries yesterday recommended purchasing lion and tiger urine from Chester Zoo to stop neighbourhood cats from urinating in a vegetable patch (G2, page 17). Chester Zoo would like to forestall requests for its big cats’ urine: it asks us to make clear that it does not in fact sell either tiger or lion urine. Many years ago the zoo sold elephant dung, but it no longer does.
The Guardian (U.K.): A comment piece about achievement and frailty in the lives of artistic greats mentioned Wagner’s reminder to his favourite Vienna chambermaid to wear purple knickers next time they met. A Wagner expert points out that the pants in question were pink.
The Guardian (U.K.): This article was amended on Tuesday 20 January 2009. In our entry on Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon Days, we referred to "A Prairie Ho Companion"; we meant "A Prairie Home Companion." This has been corrected.
