Argentina takes back the Falkland Islands - according to John Lewis Poole <\/p>\n
A globe featuring the Falklands Islands marked with their Argentinian name has sparked outrage after going on sale at John Lewis in Poole. <\/p>\n
The British-ruled South Atlantic islands are incorrectly marked as Las Malvinas on the 8-inch diameter globe, which costs 95. <\/p>\n
There is no reference to their English name nor the fact that they are a UK overseas territory. <\/p>\n
Red-faced bosses at the department store are now facing calls from angry Falklands War veterans to apologise and withdraw the globe from their shelves. <\/p>\n
One Falklands hero called for a boycott on the chain, describing the blunder as an \"own goal for the Brits\". <\/p>\n
The shocking mistake has been blamed on a design error by the globe's Indian suppliers. <\/p>\n
The 'Curiosity' globe, that is mounted on a silver stand, is described on John Lewis' website as 'a brilliant way to add a traditional touch of knowledge to the room'. <\/p>\n
