    Nice headline from the Guardian. I think 'brung' is a good word. We need more brungs.

      Whatever happened to proof reading? The Guardian should be ashamed of itself.

        That is shockingly poor English.

        I reckon "are have" is a proof-reading error, "it's" is ignorance of English grammar, and "brung" is non-standard English in common use in various parts of Britain.
