Flawed premise

Last night, I received an e-mail circulated to alumni, informing us that our old school seems to be bankrupt, and railing against the governors' irresponsibility in reaching the stage of being obliged to auction the premises.  Sad news.

This morning, an abjectly contrite retraction was in my inbox.

Promises. It's an auction of promises, a charity event. There's no known threat to the school (which is owned by the local authority anyway).

Oops....
