A timely apology

Monkey is just trying to imagine the frantic round of emails, phone calls etc that went into producing this apology, which appears in the new issue of GQ, out this week. "In the July issue of GQ Sport, which was banded to GQ, we may have inadvertently given the impression that Zara Phillips, the British Olympic equestrian contender, who appeared on the cover of the issue had an association with the supplement sponsor, Omega. Zara Phillips is, of course, sponsored by Rolex, along with the Royal Bank of Scotland and Land Rover. We apologise unreservedly to Rolex if any reader was confused in any way. It is our pleasure to make this clear to Zara Phillips and Rolex." The latest issue seems to have at least five watch adverts in it. But none from Rolex or Omega.
