Breacon Beacons Beckon

If anyone can be relied upon to present Great Britain in the best light possible, you'd think it would be our national tourist board, Visit Britain, as it's now commercially known.

A £25m campaign is being rolled out in 14 cities around the world to attract tourists beyond the Olympics. Posters promoting the wonders of the Great British countryside - including the Welsh 'Breacon Beacons' can now be seen on the New York subway, amongst other similarly impressive locations. We agree, the Brecon Beacons are great; certainly worthy of having their name spelt correctly.

An easy mistake to make, we know; this sort of thing happens to the best of us occasionally. But surely a final proof would have caught this one... a good argument for keeping indigenous projects local? Whoopsie Daisy!
