JEP Letter Misprint

"The best thing to do with the Watersplash", wrote Philip Sinel in his letter to the JEP, "is either to knock it down or scuff it up a but and turn it back into what I was before, something slightly eccentric with a bit of character".

I never knew that was how he viewed himself - something slightly eccentric with a bit of character - but there it is, in tonight's JEP, in black and white.

What is the betting that when it appears on the internet version - curiously it is not there yet, although other letters for today's JEP are - that "I was before" will be corrected to "it was before"?

Methinks Mr Sinel will not be best pleased!
