I rarely make mistakes.

When I do, I tend to deal with them like a mature adult and ignore them in the hope that they will go away.  But sometimes, as in this case, someone will pop into my comments box and point out my mistake to the world.

I am not an unreasonable man, and as such I think it only fair that I correct that mistake.

In this post a few days ago I suggested I had eaten breakfast at Giraffe, when in fact it turns out I actually ate at The Bridge Bar.  This is what happens when you write a post a few weeks after the event, and when you are unable to recall the name of the restaurant, you search Google for places to eat in Terminal 1.  Unfortunately, Google lied and suggested there was only one place I could have eaten.

You see, it is mostly Google’s fault after all.

Anyway, I have stealth-edited the original post and some of the comments so NO-ONE WILL EVER KNOW.  Except for all the people reading this.  And the people at Giraffe.  And any Google refers.  And anyone you choose to tell about this.

So no harm done.

I have fond memories of the recent men’s 100 metres final in Beijing.  Usain Bolt put in a performance that quite literally, made track and field history.

Then I look at the state of the country today, with rising inflation, falling house prices, banks on the verge of collapse, recession looming large on the horizon, and a feeling among many that things are about to take a significant turn for the worse.

Then I look back to just over three years ago to the Live 8 concerts, and I wonder if the Government completely misunderstood the stated aim of Making Poverty History.  Because right now, it looks like they could be about to do just that.
