Bikers taken to hospital after crash

 

A BIKER and his woman pillion passenger were admitted to Noble's Hospital following an accident at the Cooil roundabout in Castletown Road, Douglas, at 7am today (Thursday).

I'm still stuck on why his female passenger is being call "his woman passenger". LOL

Also, to the poster who said we shouldn't find fault because we all make typos: true, but we don't all call ourselves journalists. You would think that if you put your name to an article in the Press that you might just read it through first. (Don't they use proofreaders at the Newspaper offices?)

If it doesn't matter that spelling or grammar are incorrect (personally I'd expect both in a proficient journalist) perhaps we can apply this thinking to numerals and maths too?

 

£2000 + £2000 = £5000...close enough..

 

Would it matter when doing my bizness accownts?
