Jerry and Tom
Read the first paragraph of this story and see if anything sounds not-quite-right:
Yes, it says “as sure as… Tom follows Jerry”. This must be a brand new TV programme, as I’ve never heard of one called Jerry and Tom.
Does he mean Tom and Jerry, by any chance? I’m sure we’ve all heard of that classic cartoon.
Maybe the BBC needs to employ some better sub-editors – or reporters that pay a bit more attention to popular culture when they try to work it in to their articles.
Unless, of course, Justin Parkinson is trying to undermine his own article from the start…?
Perhaps the author’s thinking is that “Tom follows Jerry around, trying to sneak up on him and catch him”.
No? Ah well, it was worth the try…
Tom does generally go after Jerry! How often do you see a mouse chase a cat?
