FT follows up press release seven months late
Posted in Bootnotes, 28th October 2000 16:34 GMT
A hack from that respected UK business daily, the Financial Times, had occasion to ask a Reg staffer for help this week.
Answering the phone at his palatial country residence, our vulture was asked for some background information on a press release that had been sent out by his PR bunny partner.
"OK, I'll look it up," he offered, helpful to a fault. "When was it sent out?"
"Er, March," replied the highly-paid national journo.
So look out for some hot breaking news in the Pink 'un next week. ®
