9.1.12 Apology - Paul Daniels

The newspapers are littered with errors and inaccuracies, and apologies often have to be printed.  Ahead of time, I have noticed an issue with a story in today's paper, regarding Paul Daniels.  I will first show the printed story - well, the beginning of it at any rate.

Paul Daniels thought his career was over after a DIY accident with a power saw.  Paul - more used to sawing other people in half - almost severed his fingers on New Year's Day at the Berkshire home he shares with wife Debbie McGee.  As she was out, Paul wrapped his torn left hand and drove himself to a nearby hospital. [The story goes on a bit, with some boring extra information.]

Whilst not a fan of Mr Daniels, I do wish him a speedy recovery, and suggest to him that he stays away from power saws in the future, and perhaps sticks to handkerchiefs and cards.

Now to the issue.  I apologise on behalf of The Sun for the error contained within the opening line of the article.  Clearly the career of Paul Daniels was over some considerable time ago.
