Gordon Brown's telephone call ...

From The Telegraph:

The Prime Minister addressed the mother of 20 year-old Jamie Janes as "Mrs James" and left some words half-finished in his apparent haste.... Jacqui Janes accused Mr Brown of disrespecting the memory of her son. Mr Brown moved to limit the damage by telephoning Mrs Janes to assure her he meant no offence.

T'would have been amusing had he become totally befuddled by this stage and addressed her as Janie Jones.
