Does anyone proof read the NWN any more? I have just read a death announcement for a friend and there are 2 glaring mistakes in there. Not very good NWN.

Distressing yes, but one assumes they print what they are presented with and would have no reason to question it. Was the announcement from the undertaker, in which case they may be at fault, or direct from the deceased's family? -------------------- Si non prius succederent.......... relinquere

I worked for 2 scottish newspapers a long time ago and we spent hours proof reading the paper before it was printed. |

The undertaker puts together the death notice and it's is proof read by the direct relatives b4 being approved. I should know. I went through the whole process in Feb with my Mum.😢 |
