This is another 'silly season' story. It will happen in America, where not too many people read the English Daily Mail paper !!!
Real journalists start to get itchy holiday feet beginning at Ascot and running through henley Regatta, Cowes Week, Cheltenham Gold Cup week, open Golf Week and very rarely family holiday w/end. Well they couldn't stand a whole week and often arrange to get called back to the office for an emergency. This normally means the rest of the fortnight's hols with the popsie on the side. This all goes on until September. They either have stories written in reserve or find ones like this to fill space. Editors are happy that the paper is busy and that reporters are writing new stories. They are all pissed, anyway, and never ever read them !!!!
Columnists are the worst offenders. They dig out their old stories and anecdotes from years ago and just revamp them. They can now e. mail them in from wherever they are hiding. Some of them earn £100k per year for writing one or two columns per week in some broadsheets.
