The headline to a news brief in the Business section said that 70,000 jobs were to be cut at BP. As the article made clear, the correct figure should have been 10,000, from a total staff of 70,000 (“Pandemic blamed for loss of 70,000 BP jobs”, 14 June, page 45)
An article said that a TalkTalk customer’s monthly bill increased from £20 to £39 after her contract came to an end; it actually rose to £29 (“Broadband customers trapped in lockdown with sky-high charges”, 14 June, page 49).
A recipe (“Aubergine with feta, cashews and ras el hanout”, 14 June, page 25, Magazine) failed to refer to the cashews. A handful, toasted, should be stirred into the aubergine, along with chickpeas and shredded mint leaves.
