It seems that someone in the online team at the Express has become just a trifle disillusioned with their quality of journalism.  If you look closely at the URL one the digital types has left little doubt as to how they viewed the story about the dangers of drinking copius quantities of coffee.  “Too much coffee can make you hallucinate and sense dead people say sleep experts….” apparently. 

Whilst the digi-wonks at the Express have changed the URL the original page still exists if you want to see for yourself.  

It reminds me of a possibly apocryphal story that I heard many years ago in the days of hot metal printing presses about a disgruntled typesetter at the Knutsford Guardian. 

It’s always great to start the day thanking your lucky stars that you’re not someone else! Apparently O2’s press officers got themselves and their phone wires into a tangle when trying to blag a journalist. They were discussing their line on how to pull the wool over his eyes whilst preparing to call him, inadvertently dialed him with hilarious results. I should stick by my profession but it does sound shoddy, although we’ve only got the journalist’s version, perhaps ‘friends’ of the PRs in question might want to put their side? Decide for yourself…..
