In the Argus, Dick sets out his argument for Falmer in an open letter to Mr Prescott
He begins it...Dear Deputy Prime Minister, and then ends it, Yours Sincerely.
Now I know people make the "there/their" error every now and again, however this is just plainly dreadful and the Argus proof readers should resign forthwith. When I was a school, it was "Yours faithfully" if you were addressing a Mr, or an office, and "yours sincerely" if you were addressing a David something, ie calling someone by their name, not title.
Good article though!
