• An advice column said that roadside recovery policies, although a type of insurance, are unregulated and outside the remit of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). That is the case for breakdowns that occur in the UK. However, because the letter writer’s breakdown happened in Europe, the claim falls under the European cover section of the breakdown policy and the FOS can consider a complaint (Botched RAC ‘rescue’ put us through French ordeal, 19 May, p61).
• The pizza restaurant Sweet Thursday is in the borough of Islington, not Hackney, though it is over the road from the latter (Academic and doctor Chris van Tulleken: ‘Ultra-processed products are food that lies to us’, 19 May, Food Monthly, p8).
• An article mentioned the accidental dumping of raw sewage into “Cumbria’s Lake Windermere” in February this year. However, as our style guide points out, with the exception of Bassenthwaite Lake, bodies of water in the Lake District do not have “lake” in their names (Surfers, swimmers and nature lovers paddle out to demand clean waters, 19 May, p9).
