SIR - I wish to bring your attention to a printing error in your August 18 edition. It began 'Prolific Twitterer MP Grant Shapps has been suspended from the popular social networking site...'

Surely a mistake by the typesetter who slipped in a few extra characters; a long liquid lunch perhaps?

Of course it should have read 'Prolific Twit MP Grant Shapps has been suspended...'

No doubt other readers of your esteemed publication also spotted this basic error.

If I were you, I'd have a word in the ear of your man down at the printers. Whatever next!

Malcolm Chard,

The Ayots.
