Fire alarm makes Chippenham mayor's ball one to remember (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

"arlarm"?
"Ballturned"?
"fkleeing"
"turned out to eb a false alarm"

And by a SENIOR reporter?
Was this written by a 105 year old??
That's the only explanation for the "Senior" in your job title.

I wish I had your job, I'd be on better money than I am now and I'd do the damned thing properly.

I was just about to comment on the atrocious spelling,but someone has beaten me to it!!

Spell check not working that day???

No excuse for it.

It takes a moment to hit "F7" to perform a spell-check and often word-processors highlight errors for you and automatically change them.
It's almost like the world is unfair and whilst this "Senior" reported is on 40K+ we're all miserable (yet accurate) and on 20K-.
Just because this person was priveliged enough to prance around at university and ply themselves with alcohol at our cost that suddenly makes them "Senior"

As if these comments will make a difference this senior reporter is obviously unable to operate a computer so will not even notice.

I wonder if this would go to press??

Privileged - that's just my fat thumbs on a touch-screen phone!

Being educated gets you a better job in life. Get over it and enrol for one if you are not happy.

I don't know what job sites you've been looking at, but before I moved into PR I was working as a senior reporter on £18,000 and a 60 hour week was not unusual.
The position is earned not by 'prancing around at university' but through experience in the role followed by a series of practical exams while on the job. Yes life can be unfair, just speak to any of the aspiring journalists doing unpaid internships to get a foot in the door. Clearly you have a passion for writing, perhaps you should discuss some work experience with the Gazette & Herald - if you’re willing to put in the work with little thanks or financial reward then reporting may just be the job for you.

still no excuse for bad spelling

Enrol for a job? What planet are you from?

There's kind of a shortage of jobs and you can't just "enrol" for one.

Besides that, I stated that I am already working. Imbecile.

A "better" education should not determine your role in life - if you believe that, I'm afraid your life is going to feel quite incomplete - basing your intelligence on qualifications alone is a foolish approach.

Obviously it does involve prancing around as it didn't do this particular reporters spelling any good did it?

Also a little research wouldn't go a miss - the average salary for a Senior Reporter is £35 - you need to go and speak to your employers and make an adjustment to your wages because you're being ripped off.

Maybe it's because they pay sub-standard wages that they get sub-standard work produced as a result...

DYSLEXIA ????

Never read such a bunch of pathetic comments in my life.

'Senior Reporter' is just a 'Job Title'.

Mine changes most years and is utterly meaningless - think I'm a 'senior systems administrator' this year - which is nothing to do with my current role - which keeps changing.

But then again - if any of you inbreds actually had a job you'd know how the workplace is these days...

I know Julie and she's a really nice girl. So she threw together a story full of typos in a rush...

Well I think she should be keel hauled for that. Get over it.

It's a free website - if you don't like it - don't read it!

And please learn the difference between a typo, a spelling mistake and grammatical error!

btw - non of my business what someone in the private sector earns but £35k on the gazette - a local rag - are you serious!!!???

The gramha is appauling too.
