Birmingham City Council has admitted sending out leaflets which showed its US namesakes skyline instead.
About 720,000 pamphlets praising Brummies for their recycling were sent around the city at a cost of £15,000.
But instead of showing landmarks such as the Rotunda and the new Selfridges building, it showed downtown Birmingham, Alabama, instead.
Full story on BBC News.
I don’t know what’s more worrying – the stupid mistake or the fact that to celebrate the city’s impressive record in recycling the council printed almost three quarters of a million leaflets saying thanks… which will then need recycling.
