After reading this article in last week's Sunday Telegraph, I wrote to the paper to explain that there are, in fact, two Christmas Islands and that the nuclear tests to which the writer alluded did not take place (as he claimed) at the one in The Indian Ocean - but, in the South Pacific. I also contacted the assistant editor who wrote it.
Sadly, however, putting aside the fact that the writer reacted (IMHO) rather sarcastically to my advice, neither he nor the paper seem to have made any effort to apologise for the error in this week's paper. As a subscriber, I find that disappointing from a, so-called, quality publication.
