Somebody please tell me I'm not going insane... The pic of Dundee is actually St Andrews (taken from the tower at the cathedral)?

Bloody BBC

The alternate text on the pic is "St. Andrews" as well - someone's having a giraffe!

What pic are you on about? the one in the article is of dundee, outside the overgate! :S

[Mr Comedy]

That's possibly because I sent them a strongly worded email...

Sirs,

It appears that on this page the picture is of St Andrews, not Dundee. Would this suggest that although the Dundonians may be intelligent, those who produce the BBC website dont fit into this category?

Regards,

I hope you didn't send that email with the apostrophe missing?

The irony!

Seems like a view of Dundee Law to me.

Mr_Big_Dave is indeed correct - they originally showed a photo of north/south street from atop the cathedral tower thing.

A nice picture, true, but definitely not Dundee...

I hate the word random.
I hate my username.
I like paper.
I like recycled paper even more.

It looks like they have now gone through 3 different photographs. The should have just added a slide show!

The BBC are stupid - if you put your postcode in on the home page, the local news that comes up is Tayside and Central, when all the St Andrews news is actually under Edinburgh, East and Fife!

It's a shame it wasn't St Andrews - cause the "broadband economy" as they put it could do with improving here. at least the students will be leaving soon - that should flush the tubes enough to get good bandwidth.

A frankly intriguing comment from someone with such a fascinating life they have time to post on The Sinner.

I've not even got that excuse - my job is obviously so stimulating that I have time to post on the board of a university I graduated from three years ago.
