I cannot believe that they could miss out the word "million" in the headline.

Maybe they don't have proofreaders and it's the writer who checks it over before it goes to press. In which case, the writer already knows what it's supposed to say so reads what should be there rather than the reality.

I bet Dr Dre didn't miss that tenner very much

It's not normally the writer of the article who writes the headlines - I understand that's more of an editorial job.

I do like to read the CM content, but the site has become increasingly slow to load and clunky. I believe this is partly due to them loading far too dense pictures. There is no justifiable reason why CM should take 5 times longer to load than a UK national.

As a rule, yes - but remember, "this is Cyprus" and we're talking about the Cyprus Mail too!

Agree completely PD. I recently complained to Cyprus Mail about how long it took to load their web-page and got a very woolly reply that they were aware of the problem and were trying to do something about it, but nothing has changed so I have stopped reading the page now!
