Subject: [peel] Re: a little late but a new one

no need to make an excuse. I have made enough mistakes in my time, 
and seen thousands more in 'official' BBC data, to see no point in 
anyone feeling bad about getting a date wrong. I'm pretty sure from 
the context that that one was 19/7/79.

My current plan is to try and collate the errata in the new book 
together from my own observations and readers/listeners' points over 
the next 3 / 4 months or so - I expect to get a few in by post after 
Christmas, as I did all those years ago from IST! - and then, perhaps 
around the end of January at the earliest (and because it will be a 
long time I expect before any conceivable 2nd edition involving 
corrections) , to format and layout myself 2/3 pages of 
these "Corrections & Clarifications" in the same type style/design 
and page size as the book's back-half design (we teach this stuff on 
the journalism course here at Caledonian using Quark Xpress, so I 
should be able to do this), and then post these on this site, so 
owners of the book can print them off and insert inside the back of 
their copies, just for the record.

if anyone of you have further such points, remember, please in the 
first instance e-mail me off list,
