Banksy: painting a false picture

The Guardian Guide offered readers an interview on Saturday with famously reclusive street artist Banksy, who shared his thoughts on Rolf Harris, Top Gear's Stig and his ambition to paint a "giant comedy cock" on the walls of the Guide if he ever broke into its offices. If only. As the Guardian's readers' editor said today: "An interview purporting to be with Banksy in last Saturday's Guide (One last thing ... , 18 July, page 98, the Guide) was, it transpires, conducted with someone impersonating the graffiti artist. We apologise to Banksy for this error and for any offence and inconvenience caused."
