A branch of KFC in Birmingham, Alabama has egg on its face after showing pictures of Birmingham, Englandshire, in its restaurant.
Diners in the thriving Alabama city seemed amused by the confusion with its quaint European counterpart which became bankrupt after being obliged to pay its female serfs at the same rates as the male ones.
The company is looking into how the mistake happened and thinks its new AI restaurant décor system may need a few tweaks.
Michael Gove is riding to the rescue of the bankrupt Birmingham City Council, arriving in the city centre on a magnificent white stallion. He then attempted a stirring speech, but most of it was muffled by his ornate suit of medieval armour.
Gove apparently said 'Only more than a decade of savage Tory cuts to local government necessitates these kind of interventions, so... you're welcome. Anyway, I, Michael Gove, being of sound mind, despite being banned from several nightclubs in Aberdeen, am the Duke of Dudley, the Earl of Edgbaston and the Sultan of Solihull. I am Ozzy Osbourne and Tommy Shelby, staying at the Crossroads Motel.'
Gove is said to have 'responded positively' to the idea of riding his white horse through the streets of neighbouring Coventry, adding 'naked, I hope?' before winking at aides.
The stretch of HS2 from Birmingham to Manchester is in doubt today as the government refuses to stretch to a confirmation that it will stretch as far as Manchester.
Opposition figures criticised the government for stretching the truth when they announced last year that it would stretch all the way and not be cut back.
"It's stretching credulity to think that in these hard times, at a stretch, they aren't considering cuts" said a spokesman.
We can confirm that in the creation of this article we did not use a stretched limo, but we did stretch a point until it had to be carried off on a stretcher.
