I've always taken the view that the best way to deal with a cock-up is to hold up your hands, apologise, and put it right as soon as possible.

Taylors of Harrogate clearly share the same philosophy...

In a blog on July 26, I wrote about the complimentary box of tea bags that were sent by Taylors to mark Yorkshire day.

The tea bags were specially branded "Northern Echo Tea" except the second 'r' was missed out of 'Northern'.

It was a nice surprise to return from holiday to find a new box of Northern Echo tea bags from Taylors, this time with no spelling mistakes.

There was also a nice card, apologising for the literal, which had caused "extreme embarrassment".

As I said in my previous blog, we all make mistakes - The Northern Echo included.

But my thanks to Taylors for taking the time and trouble to put it right.

Indeed, I'll be toasting their kindness with a cup of their excellent tea.
