Those missing yams again!
Ok, it s over. Mr A A Olaniyan from nothing less than the National Horticultural Research Institute in Ibadan, Nigeria, joins the masses of readers who still remind us of our error of publishing a photo a woman with a basket of cassava with a caption referring to yams, with our article in Spore 87 (June 2000) called 'Ghana yam exports surge ahead'. Sorry, sorry, sorry! This correspondence is now closed. Except, of course, if you live in the Seychelles. There, the Seychelles Bureau of Standards (whose motto we fool you not is The Guardian of Quality ) included the yam article and photo, error and all, as one of several Spore articles used in their Quarterly Journal of July-September 2000. (Yes, even re-publishing our mistakes is OK, we suppose! -ed.). The people at SBS can count their blessings. With a national population of less than 110,000, at least they might get fewer complaints than we did. Good luck, SBS!
