I hope the chosen one will be able to eliminate such abominations as “I was sat in the aeroplane, looking at the windsock”.
Not sure where that was written and by whom Nic but in my experience the editorial staff try to leave submissions as close to the contribuor’s original work as possible. You should see some of the rubbish (mine) they’ve let through!
