We put a Cork in it…

Drive from sea to sea but don’t stop to pee

The AA motoring group said it was unacceptable for drivers not to have anywhere stop for the toilet or a coffee for the entire 250 km (155 mile) journey between Ireland’s two biggest cities Dublin and Cork for example, even from a purely safety perspective.

Since when has Cork overtaken Belfast as Ireland’s second city?

Last time I looked Belfast was twice the size of Cork!!

Where did this happen?

I am an avid Reuters news reader.

The new web design is nice but there is more scope for improvement.

Overseas stores?

Apple says sold 2 million iPads

Fans mobbed Apple’s overseas stores on Friday when the iPad went on sale in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Canada is not overseas! We see this quite a bit and it is infuriating!

Whose statue?

Senegal’s “renaissance woman” faces cover-up

DAKAR (Reuters) – The skimpily-dressed female figure in Senegal’s giant monument to the “African Renaissance” faces a possible cover-up after the architect on Monday said he had proposed a remodeling to cover up her bare legs.

The giant group of man, woman and infant perched on a hill overlooking the capital Dakar is bigger than New York’s Statue of Liberty and is due to be inaugurated in April.

The wrong hemisphere?

Venezuela murder-rate quadrupled under Chavez -NGO

With a murder rate of 140 per 100,000 citizens, Venezuela’s capital Caracas has the highest murder rate in South America, only exceeded in the hemisphere by Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez.

In your story you incorrectly state that Venezuela is in the same hemisphere as Mexico.

Venezuela is in the Southern Hemisphere and Mexico is in the Northern Hemisphere.

No, the other Korea…

Please see this page. I can see our national flag on the sled, called ‘Taegukgi.’

It is the South Korean national flag. Yes, I’m South Korean and want to correct the caption that says North Korea.

Kiev vs. Kyiv…

Ukraine to borrow abroad to pay for April T-bills

KIEV, Feb 15 (Reuters) – Ukraine will try to borrow abroad soon in order to meet a hefty bill for domestic debt due in April, deputy finance minister Andriy Kravets said on Monday, indicating however that the loan would be not be public.

An observation, not a question. Will you please stop spelling Kyiv by the old transliteration from Russian.

Which country was it?

Please re-edit the script in you video…. the reader mentioned the country as Indonesia..it should be Malaysia.

It was a very confusing report, to be sure. We pulled it: GBU Editor

Not in South America….

Matrimoni gay, da Città del Messico il primo ok sudamericano

Reading your headlines in Reuters Italy I read one that says: Gay marriage in Mexico , the first one in Southamerica. I would like to tell you that Mexico is NOT located in south america. I think this is a very big mistake.
