Bristol ‘Live’, the city’s newspaper of (warped) record is a frequent source of exclusives, i.e. news limited to the possession, control or use by a title or group of titles. However, most of these go unrecognised or are ignored by the paper itself.
One such occurred this morning when the piece in the screenshot below was added to the title’s website.
It seems the city and county of Bristol and its forces of law in order in particular have some very skilled abstract nouns called offers. Not only can they control domestic animals – horses – but are also able to use tools/weapons (batons) at the same time.
Why have these highly talented abstract nouns not received attention the so richly merit in the past? Diligent proofreading perchance? 😀
