Busway Farce Goes National
The national press has been rather quiet on the Cambridge Busway. Perhaps, here in East Anglia, we’re rather irrelevant or perhaps Cambridge is just somewhere you pass by on the way to your second home in Norfolk. The truth about Cambridge is actually much more important, as without it we’d all be further into the do-dah than we are.
But today, the infamous signwriting error has been reported in both the Daily Mail and The Telegraph. It’s even in the Odd News on UPI.
Obviously, spelling is much more important news than a badly executed project with massive cost overruns.
The Anonymous Widower 
At one point today this was the fourth most emailed story worldwide on the BBC website.

It just emphasises my point that you can be more than twice over budget and not get any comment, but make a spelling mistake and the world falls in.
