THIS WEEKEND, FORMER James Bond actor and svengali of smooth Roger Moore gave a talk about his life and career in Torquay, Devon.

On the way, he stopped in for a pub lunch.

The incident gave rise to a story in the Torquay Herald-Express. And then, perhaps the most wonderful Twitter exchange in the history of 86-year-old former James Bond actors.

Luckily, they’ve now patched it up.

@TQHeraldExpress it was terrific!

However, four hours after the initial exchange, the article STILL describes him as eating a Scotch egg.

When will this be rectified? For the sake of journalism, we must know.
