Lost in translation again

Last month I wrote a post about a couple who did not like Thailand so booked a trip to Tenerife yet ended up in Tel Aviv. Well, it has happened again. From today's Times: "Jennifer Edwards, 24, arrived in Calcutta in the early hours to find that Thomas Cook had booked her a hotel room in Calicut, 1200 miles away in southern India." Must make a note not to end up in Lincolnshire next time I try to go to Boston. Or perhaps a more accurate analogy, must check that I'm not going to Beijing next time I want to travel to Berlin.
