Manx residents may spot factual mistakes...
A UK-wide article has been published positively promoting the Island's food and drink industry.
Although The Sunday Telegraph article by Xanthe Clay on Manx-made tastes is aimed at a UK audience - some Manx people may have picked up on a few factual errors.
Issued today, it states the Island has 85,000 people resident here; when - in fact - the latest census shows it now stands at around 83,000.
It also alludes to there being 35 members of the House of Keys - there are actually only 24 MHKs; 35 members of Tynwald in total.
Overall, though, it was a complementary piece for the industry - featuring growing companies like the Apple Orphanage and Noa Bakehouse.
Betty Pie Co. was hailed as a 'local artisan on the up'.
And local sellers like Andreas Meats, manxkippers.com, and of course; the Isle of Man Creamery was also given a mention.
