There's an advert for Premium Bonds in today's Observer. The gist of the advert is that you can buy Premium Bonds as a gift for a child. It is illustrated by a split picture of a backpack. The top half shows it hanging on a wall covered in childish images. The bottom half shows it resting in wild countryside covered in international flags, presumably implying that the early gift will finance the child's later backpacking adventures.

Unfortunately, it's right under a news item with the headline "British backpacker missing after Cambodian island beach party."

Is there any significance, I wonder, in the fact that my newsagents delivered me today of all days a copy of the Daily Mail instead of my normal Guardian?

I'm amused to see in The Observer's TV listings that next Sunday the Syfy channel is showing Matthew Vaughn's film Kiss-Ass. That's the one about the sycophantic crime fighter, right?

Update 3/10/17: I received an embarrassed reply from The Observer's Reader Editor admitting they'd made a mistake.
