Parents 'should correct toddlers' pronunciation'
'…though toddlers can easily detect how words are pronounced by others…they do not react to hearing their own voice in the same way adults do.' I note that the article says 'until the age of four they are unable to hear that they have got it wrong, a study claims.', whereas my reading of what the study claims is that at the age of two they are unable to hear that, whereas at the age of four, and also once an adult they can — that doesn't mean its at four that they get that ability, just that it's between two and four.

Paul McMullan lays bare newspaper dark arts at Leveson inquiry | Media | The Guardian
''Privacy is for paedos," declared former News of the World man and tabloid veteran Paul McMullan in the midst of his evidence at the Leveson inquiry. He had only just observed that "in 21 years of invading people's privacy I've never found anybody doing any good" – statements that together amounted to a credo for the brutal Sunday tabloid world of which McMullan became the chief spokesman in the otherwise stifled confines of courtroom 73.'

BBC News - Is £40,000 really a liveable income for families in the UK?
Perhaps a bad idea for them to lead with the family where the lady of the house "spends £10,000 every couple of years to buy a new car and likes to go on two or three package holidays a year." and yet complains of money being tight. The later couple who's café collapsed, leaving them with lots of debt, that I can more emphasise with.
