TIME TO REFLECT

sp359

 

Dear Spurtle,

I wonder, having only just noticed it myself, whether or not you've been inundated with comments about the March Spurtle (Issue 359) being dated 2025.

It's somewhat appropriate, being just above the illustration of the long extinct Dodo ….

Dear Ms Brown,
Thank you for drawing this to our attention. 
To enable accurate searching of back issues in future, the online version has been corrected to 2026.
There have been a number of gleeful readers' comments about this in recent weeks, most of them to the effect that the Editor doesn't know his annus from his elbow.
Guilty as charged.
The Editor
