Don't they check?

I SEE that Canal & River Trust are boasting of their achievements in the press, in what I understand are press releases, writes John Smedley.
But I wonder if either the trust or the newspapers check what is sent?
It is obvious that they do not or they might have realised that the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct certainly does not 'span three counties and two countries' as is claimed by Canal & River Trust and printed in the Nationals.
Entirely in Wales
Anyone knowing of this aqueduct knows that it is entirely in Wales! And it is solely in Clwyd!
You would have thought the people who run the waterways would be aware of which country it is in, wouldn't you? Obviously not.
