THERE is an old saying about one of our local rivers, fall in Itchen come out Scratching.
Now poor David Cameron is in murky political waters because a letter he sent to Southampton Itchen constituency spelt the word Itchen as Itchin, which sounds like a night spent on an ant hill.
Now I suppose some down trodden clerk in the Conservative party office is in deep water over the gaff.
Let’s hope Mr Cameron sorts out this muddle over Itchen or Itchin because it certainly was rash to send an un researched letter that didn’t come up to scratch.
