A bit of a fuss in The Times

The latest copy of The Times has just found its way to the breakfast tables of Britain. It doesn't make good reading.

It would appear that ChatGPT has introduced an element of fake news into the battle report but I guess that's in the tradition of human journalism.

  1. Very bad news indeed! It's now all on Wetherby to live up to his word and defeat the Boers! I am looking forward to the "major offensive with the whole army!" All very well done Ian, I really enjoy the inclusion of the period newspaper!

    1. Thanks Brad, it does seem that Wetherby is rather unfairly shifting the blame but these things happen in the army!

  2. No better place to lay blame than on a dead man.
    Great article. The whole army? Boers had better scramble!

    1. Thanks Bob, I agree the whole army may be a bit excessive but I’m sure Wetherby will have an eye on his lines of communication.

  3. I say, blaming the late Colonel is not cricket!

    Put me right off me morning kippers reading that!

    1. Matt, I have to admit that I expected better from Wetherby!
