I mean, thanks for everything, until you start charging £1 a day/£2 a week/£90 a year for The Times online.

If I wanted to pay for blatant errors, such as saying Shrove Tuesday 2010 falls in the first week of February (which it did not*), or watching that woman stumble about in big hair in an attempt to teach me Beyonce’s Single Ladies’ dance, I would.

But I don’t. So I’ll get my news elsewhere.

And my pancakes? I’ll eat them any time I damn well please.

If you are like most Britons, you will not know that today is Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, as it is often called.

Refusing to believe I’d missed one of my favourite days of Christian gluttony, I wrote them a letter. Turns out it was a cut’n’paste job from 2008. They corrected it here, telling their readers:

it’s not too late — pancakes are surprisingly easy to make*

Maybe next year I’ll celebrate Mardi Gras with Dre on a Tray’s king cake instead.

*You bet they are, Times. & not even I need 14 days to prepare.
