At least the thought was there...they made the effort to remember, so we are going to bag them out for a typo?
Sheesh.

They didnt have any problems is bagging the hell out of the Territory's reliability one morning either, and they did get that wrong too.

But i'm biased because i think morning shows are crap, Especially sunrise, and to top it off i also think Denyer is a flog.

Sure, but when you're a broadbaster who by expectation (arguable though) should at least post factual information that is attained as easily as visiting Wikipedia, it is a bit disappointing.

They really don't have to go far to get information. Gone are the days of the Encyclopedia where you have to pull a massive book off a shelf and are awarded a paragraph.

But still, at least they made the effort...they just need to get it right. It isn't hard.

I don't know much about sunrise, seems they're pretty useless. Comment retracted!
Chances are some ditzy youngun just out of school got handed the task of writing that one out, or a Holden lover hell-bent on diminishing fords involvement in Oz.

Look up 'Comedy Inc. Sunrise' on Youtube.
Their videos are very reflective on how Sunrise seem to behave.
It's like little kids in a treehouse giggling over bottoms.

Cool Ford Anniversary

Yes definitely wrong as I had as a first registered car a 53 anniversary Customline back in 1965 and I paid 25 quid $50 for it so that makes Ford over a hundred years old not fifty

I'd suggest sending them a message. If you do - and seeing that you will be representing those who bleed blue - don't give the rest of us a bad name by immature content in your message.

I stopped watching Sunrise years ago because the simplistic newsreader they have often misquotes statements practically everytime they ask for her input.
