Everyone makes mistakes..!

I saw this on the bbc site today. About 720,000 pamphlets praising Brummies for their recycling were sent around the city at a cost of £15,000 (curious in itself!)

But the skyline image used was actually one of Birmingham, Alabama, USA...

It took a resident who received the pamphlet to realise that the image was wrong. Initially, the council claimed no mistake had been made and the "generic skyline [was] intended to symbolise an urban area".. they later admitted they had made a mistake. Ha!

Haha! Surely somebody would have checked through the artwork before it got sent to print - especially when it was costing £15,000! It's good to know it's not just us students who make mistakes!
