Sounds like the code monkies responsible should show up to the Reg event that has ll these yellow banners littered around the page. I thought it was a comical irony at first then realised it's in the Security section *slaps self*. UK.gov could do with a few reps there too for that matter :)

Paris cos she's just as stupid

@Sarah Bee 

Ah, I see what you did there.

You made the latin - 'non-sequitur' - sound all French-like by changing it to 'nom-sequitur'. A cunning linguist indeed.

Or maybe it was a typo...

"Faux-pas? Faut pas."

Faux pas 

Doesn't that mean 'not fake'?

@Pete 

"Faux pas" literally means "bad step". In other words, someone guilty of a "faux pas" just had a stumble on the social walk of life.
