Your turn

This could have been a great sign, with some important instructions, but sadly the lack of 'ed' made me laugh so much that I left all the lights on and the heating up full blast.

Poor taste


They were too hastie to check the spelling on this sign 'cos they were too busy eating a big pastie.

Except no mercy!

There aren't really words to describe this one - it's just fantastic.

Spag what?!


Unless I'm mistaken, I've always thought that it should be 'spag bol' for short. I'm suddenly not as hungry as I thought I was.

Where's the o?

Beware - signwriters creating signs with the American spelling of 'manoeuvre'. Or maybe they were Americans?

Yet another ery-ary mistake

I've seen so many of these that I'm beginning to doubt that the dictionEry has got it right! More of these to follow.

They thought they were going to wembley or they think they are going to Wembley?

Apostrophe alert!

It reads as if they have already been beaten and they WERE going to Wembley and they look remarkably cheerful after being beaten.

Just one quick dob of paint and were becomes we're and the trip is back on again...assuming their team were on form (or should that be there team where on form or they're team we're or...)

lax attitute to gravlax

Can this spelling really be this lax? I have checked to make sure it is not a legitimate spelling in another language (see Wikipedia page). I'm not even sure if it's a C or a G at the start but I am sure that it refers to Gravlax. 

Update: I have found that it is the Danish spelling and is correct! (see this page). Still worth leaving in with my apologies to the sign-writer.

Now they are in Devon surely it should be Gravverlacks or Gravvy Lacks or any variation...
