Funny (incorrect) things you have heard said (maybe on tv or radio).

On today's BBC news the reader was quoting an item which highlighted the government's failure to reduce the daily number of immigrants.
In part she said "over 1000 immigrants crossed the channel today alone".
Yes, I knew exactly what was meant but my mind immediately threw up an image of 1000 small boats, each boat carrying a single immigrant.

Saw this story on BBC news before. I initially read it as if her clothes didn't fit her any more. Couldn't work out why moving flat would have had that effect!

Many years ago in the Rugby Leaguer Newspaper I read in the naughty boys who got sent to Red Hall for a telling off column, that one player had received a fine & 3 match ban for "Leading with a firearm" it should have said "Leading with a forearm"

There was a famous one in the Guardian back in the day in a report on the Tour of Britain, then the Milk Race. I think it was Phil Bayton who was riding with a crash injury and the report said "Bayton felt every bum on the road". The Grauniad was famous back then for it's slapdash proof reading.

It was both an unfortunate freudian slip; and a clear lack of poof reading that lead to the bum groping quip…..
