Indeed. But you have managed to successfully argue that the figure I
quoted (GBP105.5million) is more accurate than the figure you gleaned
from that news report (GBP420million).



This mornings Metro. Same figures. £420million loss.


Newspapers always report bad news. Given the choice between fairly bad
news and disastrous news, which are they going to report, even when the
disastrous news is unfair?
