Once a newspaper touches a story, the facts are lost forever, even to the protagonists.

The Daily Mail is keen to point out that 'dream job' winner Ben Southall has made an embarrassing mistake referring to the Island he was on as 'Hayward' instead of Hayman: 'Bad start for Briton who won Best Job In The World as he makes embarrassing error on his second day'. However, the Daily Mail Reporter should be careful to point out fairly trivial mistakes if they are unable to proofread their own work:

Mistake

Unless the Daily Mail Reporter was being purposefully archaic I think that is a pretty embarrassing mistake.

If I was more cynical I might suggest that Ben - tasked with raising the profile and coverage of the islands he is staying on - might have spelt it wrong on purpose. If that is the case then top marks to Ben as the Daily Mail have just given the islands coverage on their website with 3 colour photos making me quite want to visit the place.
