My dad was a proof reader back in the '50s, sadly he died in the '60s but if he hadn't he would have been out of a job. I would think that about 50% of the men in Petts wood worked on the newspapers when most of them were in Fleet Street, I don't know what they do now, probably retired like me.

There remain lots of errors in the written word and most are public signage and websites - news sites predominantly.
Spellcheck doesn't get them all.

I worked for a sign making company and made a grave spelling error, Beresford instead of Besford. A stainless steel plaque that cost £200 to produce. :oops: :oops:

So, it seems the only thing to worry about is birds, giant magpies by the looks, nicking stuff from your car after pecking a hole in your windscreen :lol:

Fermyn Woods is noted for its population of Red Kites and last year I ran a marathon around the woods especially to see and observe them :D

I was lucky to see a few during my duathlon yesterday :D

I like it up that way, quiet and peaceful - generally.
