Ha, cute, a snippy comment from a throwaway who admits it when s/he gets it wrong.

Could it be that your presumptions about the author ("attention-seeking") is what misled you?

>"attention seeking"

Oh I stand by that comment. It is my opinion, did it offend you? I'm curious why you even felt the need to comment. Not every Briton has the power to do what she did. So the article is essentially just about her. She told all her friends what she was doing beforehand. Now what type of behaviour would you describe this as?
