Chester Zoo, which was selling tickets to see lions and tigers, says the mistake was a computer error.

    Oh it ruffiles my feathers when they blame the computer. It was funny and hardly important but, no, it wasn’t a “computer error”, you just had the website auto generat different tickets with the pattern of "Child "+ ticketName; it a human error.

    Again, this isn’t really British vernacular. Thanks, news written by interns/AI!

        “child predators”. This story seems written for yank engagement (you can see there’s a lot in the comments here by all the “this administration”s).

        We’d be aware of the US usage and maybe make a joke about it but it’s not some big “gotcha” moment.
