Thanks very much to the anonymous correspondent who has just sent us a lovely e-card from sunny Aberdeen. This kindness was provoked by today's very silly piece [1] regarding Carmarthenshire County Council's website.

Well, it's not just the Welsh who are prone to Net howlers, as Aberdeen City Council [2] proved when they put the following story up in September 2002.

Under the eye-catching headline "Review Of Toilets In Aberdeen's Parks", the good burghers of said city expand thus:

A city-wide study of future toilet provision in Aberdeen's parks is planned by City Council officials.

The review is set to take place following a motion by Councillor John Porter.

Superb. Keep 'em coming. ®
