| Tourist pamphlet spoilt by nose picking girl |
| 2008-01-16 |
| A council's attempt to promote a tourist attraction has been undermined by an unfortunate picture, say critics. A leaflet extolling the elysian beauties of Thornham Walks - a 12-mile footpath network in Suffolk - has a picture of a young girl picking her nose. Andrew Stringer, a Green councillor, says that "it does not represent our youth in the best light" and wants the "amateurish" pamphlet to be withdrawn. It's a cultural thing. The councillor is being culturally insensitive. Off with 'is 'ed. A Mid Suffolk District Council spokesman admitted: "It's not the best photograph", but added: "They wanted a real picture, not a typical staged one. They needed to specify "no nose picking " in the request for photos flyer. It is not staged. "It's a real picture and shows children in their Easter outfits. |
