It's an easy mistake to make. Caledonia? Catalonia? Much of a muchness, especially when you're working for SNP Ministers, and I imagine it's easy to start to see the whole world the way they do (left). Here's the intro to a press release I just received (and I look forward to the same treatment for any of my own egregious errors):
Subject: First Minister announces Caledonia support on Saltire Prize
From: THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT
December 16, 2008
CATALONIA'S PRESIDENT BECOMES LATEST FRIEND OF SALTIRE PRIZE
INTEREST IN WORLD'S BIGGEST MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY INNOVATION PRIZE FROM FIVE CONTINENTS
First Minister Alex Salmond today announced Catalonia's support for Scotland's #10 million renewable marine energy challenge after President Jose Montilla Aguilera officially signed up as a Friend of the Saltire Prize.
All together now.. "Catalonia's been everything I ever had.."
I blame spellcheck...
