Government apologise after 'tomato puree' appears on official letter

"They might be a little red-faced in the Statistics office today"

The Isle of Man Government has apologised after an official letter mistakenly included an item on a civil servant's shopping list.

The words 'tomato puree' appeared on the letter which intended to invite residents to complete a Household Income and Expenditure Survey.

Posting to social media, the Manx government joked the 'statistics office might be a little red-faced', followed by a tomato emoji.
