Tom's Top Tales - a police courgette

My favourite misprint story from this week, from Lockie in West Edinburgh:
Tom, a police force which will remain nameless produced an entire operational order about the arrangements for a 'cortege' . Just they printed it somebody hit the spellcheck. It changed 'cortege' to courgette ! Which resulted in gems like ' the courgette will travel at 20 mph and be escorted by police outriders'.
You can hear Tom Morton's daily top tales on the Tom Morton show, BBC Radio Scotland Monday-Friday 1400-1600.
