It's a poo of two halves
We all love a sniggery typo - especially on the bastion of decency that is the BBC website.
GB's own Gez excitedly brought this to my attention (although I would expect that the Beeb staff have found it by now).

I can't decide if this is a typo or a malapropism. Either way it's a shocker.
The correct word is of course 'whet'.

The Grerat Typo Inciden
I took this ages ago then forgot about it until I was clearing the photos out of my phone. I like the double typo and the sound of the word "grerater".
