Classic Clangers

Dear Richard

We look forward to the arrival of The Richmond Magazine and always enjoy reading it, so don't take the following the wrong way!

However, having just received the November issue, I have to ask whether anyone in your office actually read the review of Don Fernandos restaurant (which, by the way, may or may not take an apostrophe in its name – the review provides both options throughout)?

It's fair to say that the restaurant owners could display the review on a wall and use it as a form of after-dinner entertainment for diners who are sober enough to be able to read properly. Apparently, the starter set a president for the dishes to follow and a refreshing dessert cleansed the pallet. In another paragraph, we have a stones throw followed by busy chef's, thereby depriving us of an apostrophe when we needed one and throwing another in as a bonus when we didn't.

Obviously, we all make typos and spelling mistakes, but this review is full of classic clangers that don't belong in your lovely magazine. I could have put up with some of the missing hyphens and slightly confused phrasing, but these abominations were just too much to stomach!

On the positive side, anything written by yourself continues to be a joy to read and this month's article on Rosslyn Park rugby club was fascinating. Obviously, we assume you were on holiday when the restaurant reviews were placed!
