Seriously, this is how petty it was. When photos are sent in to us, we attribute them thus - Photo: Supplied On this occasion, by a sheer mistake, our photographer's name was attributed. This woman rings me up, aggressively and patronisingly lectures me, talks about suing and then wants me to correct it. Her bloody name would never have been on the thing in the first place! She's complaining that 'Supplied' wasn't there. Seriously...
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

Did she ask you to.... Print an apology in next weeks edition... Photo supplied! ?
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!
No, after asking me what I was going to do, without giving me a chance to reply, she said: "My name is spelt ........., the correct way." I am tempted to, however, just leave it as, "The attribution should have read “Supplied”.

She has a fair point there, media outlets are quick to play the litigation card despite being more deserved of it themselves.
In my experience, the public is very quick to throw the "I'll sue..." or "legal" line around - I get it at least once a week, with no basis in fact. This is just another of those times.

OTR Aldinga Young girl with very poor attitude ! just cant smile and when waiting for your coffee this attitude is at all. Quit and give someone a job that wants one.
The news beat up around Sam Thaiday saying last nights SOO game was like losing your virginity. If that offends you, it's time to give up all media outlets and go live in solitude.

Yes, if some people are easily offended by something as trivial as that they better not listen to any music on the radio.
