Verb Errors
These are just the first two paragraphs of an opinion piece, but they are littered with elementary verb errors.
In the first paragraph, do is wrong as there is no reason for an abrupt switch in tense from past (spoke, were) to present.
In the second paragraph, poor service standards was not my bugbear is, again, obviously wrong. Since the plural standards is the head of the noun phrase poor service standards, we need a plural verb, were.
