Corrections
Jasper Gerard
In the item "Jasper started it, honest" (18 October) about the Daily Telegraph's recent feature on Tunbridge Wells it was wrongly suggested that Jasper Gerard had asked two boys of seventeen to pose for a fake picture showing them drunk, and that the paper had published it without their permission.

Errors & Omissions: Some vehicles should never have been allowed on the road
Saturday, 24 October 2009
We reported on Wednesday the news that plans to make a film about the relationship between Edwina Mountbatten and Jawaharlal Nehru had been put on hold. In referring to Working Title, the production company behind the project, we said that "its biggest-grossing films include the romantic comedies and Hugh Grant vehicles Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral".
Errors & Omissions: Stick to English if you want to avoid the trap of foreign phrases
Saturday, 17 October 2009
This newspaper has a bad habit of making a hash of foreign languages. We have been at it again.
Errors & Omissions: Some see it as a joke – others see a blasphemous headline
Saturday, 10 October 2009
This headline appeared above a football match report on Monday: "Galacticos fall at the feet of Jesus." (Readers who do not follow football need to know that the Galacticos are the Real Madrid side; they had lost to Seville, one of whose goals was scored by a player called Jesus Navas.)
UN Relief and Works Agency, Gaza
Wednesday, 7 October 2009
The headline "Teach Gaza children about Holocaust, UN tells Hamas" in The Independent of 5 October did not reflect the interview with John Ging, Gaza Operations Director of UNRWA, reported below it. This referred only to the curriculum in UNRWA schools, and we regret any implication in the headline that Mr Ging was seeking to dictate the curriculum in any other schools in Gaza.
Errors & Omissions: Meanings come and go, but some things never change
Saturday, 3 October 2009
A blurb published in yesterday's Arts and Books section displayed a rare example of a common type of confusion: "After a four-year break from film, the actress who emanates a misfit's primal energy is back."
Neil Rawles / Luke Campbell
Monday, 28 September 2009
In our article 'Last night's television' (22 September 2009) we credited Neil Rawles as director and producer of the Channel 4 documentary Daredevils: The Ice Man. In fact it was Luke Campbell.
JP Morgan
Sunday, 27 September 2009
In our article, 'GMAC – Woolies' lender – puts UK book up for sale' (13 September 2009) we referred to an article published by the ICAEW about JP Morgan exiting the Asset Backed Loan market as a syndicator of loans. JP Morgan has asked us to point out that it is still participating in the ABL market and has not exited from the sector.'
Errors & Omissions: London has its place – and it's not at the centre of the universe
Saturday, 26 September 2009
That the following was written by one of our political correspondents may perhaps be some mitigation. They spend their working lives inside the "Westminster village", where even the outer suburbs of London must come to seem like the distant steppes of central Asia.
Alexander Hilton
Wednesday, 23 September 2009
The headline on a story (29 August) about a spoof website set up by Mr Hilton, the prospective Labour candidate for Chelsea and Fulham, incorrectly stated that Mr Hilton had admitted that the spoof was intended to smear the Tories. In fact Mr Hilton did not admit any intention to smear the Tories nor, he tells us, did he ever have that aim.
Rt Hon David Blunkett MP
Tuesday, 22 September 2009
In the paper of 18 September we wrongly said David Blunkett had resigned from the Cabinet after trying to fast-track the visa application of his wife's nanny. The nanny in question in fact worked for his lover and although Sir Alan Budd's inquiry into the matter identified that the visa had been fast-tracked, it concluded "I have not been able to determine whether Mr Blunkett gave any instructions in relation to the case and if so what they were".
