Nearly added this to the 'If right, this is disgraceful' thread, but didn't want to take that thread in a different direction.

If true, and it appears it is, then this is simply not right. I was already wound up about what's been happening, but reading this leaves me absolutely fuming.

Meanwhie elsewhere someone has scruples. They interviewed him on TV this morning. Bedrooms with four poster beds…
Can’t understand why people would leave the safety of France to get here, can you?

typical hdm ignorance of grammar. from a current report that mentions city v everton in the cup last season. newspapers used to have editors who knew about grammar.

"Having been a goal in front when Tyler Smith headed the opener, the Blues came from behind to lead 2-1 only for Ryan Longman to curl in a beauty to make it 2-2 and take the tie into extra time."

The HDM wasn’t grammar, it was **** writing which wouldn’t have made it past the people who checked these things years ago.

it was grammar. a first clause written in that manner always refers to the subject of the sentence, and it didn't.

It was **** writing. Should have said having been a goal down…
