£2m is nothing! We stole £44m from our customers a few years ago!

:D

For a company that makes £300m+ profit its a dent, but not really a problem, but at least the company are paying the fine and wont put up bills to cover the cost!

There have been many improvements to the company since this was originally uncovered, as well as changes to the management team.

It's English! There are always exceptions which is what makes it such a hard language to learn. On the whole though it is true and Ezza should know better!

It's not an actual rule, it's just something people say to help children remember spellings, despite how wrong it is.

It was a typo. My typing is terrible these days.
