Just had to share this!
Had a visit from a bathroom designer today. She gave me her brochure....................

.............I'm wondering if they set it off when they get in trouble then wait for someone - (a man???) - to come and rescue them. ::) ::) ::)
RNLI here they come?
The spelling mistake which always conjures up a lovely picture for us is when folks on Gardening sites talk about 'sewing' seeds. Right, needles at the ready?
maybe they wear one legged bell bottoms ;D
Did you say anything to her? A mistake like that might lose her some work!
I have brochures in six different languages and it's a nightmare checking, double checking, triple checking. Typos are so easy to do, and easily missed. I'm always grateful for comments/corrections. I suspect the lady designers either didn't check well enough, or they could blame the proof readers!!!
How about this for an inappropriate apostrophe:
Eyes bean to pique been four super toady. I no their bee know miss takes, I you sing chequer
Bl**dy '*ll - I wish I hadn't had that extra beer before I read that, Eristic ;D ;D ;D
I'm still looking for the aphostropie.
Metre's ?
That reminds me, must change the spell checker to British from American.
That reminds me - I should offer my large chicken in exchange for my Xmas order at a Mexborough farm shop ;D

And then go just down the road and laugh hysterically at/sympathise with the residents of ...

Not far from me is a road called Dogpool Lane. Nearby is a junior school. Over the years I've seen a succession of little kiddies scrub out the 'l' in the first word - followed by a succession of council workers painting it back in. And how they've laughed :P

The site is coming up as 'Not Found' for me :'( :'(
going back to Grandma's original post, I've looked and looked and looked but can't spot the typo :-[
(and I work in publishing :-[ :-[ :-[)
am I missing the vital bit of the pic, or please can someone put me out of my misery!
You don't have a 'flare' for spelling, then, nl? ;)
;D grandma

(am now mortified!)
Dont worry hun, Ive got an american spellcheck, even those last few words came up with 4 mistakes! I know Im rubbish at grammer and typing together. But in all honesty I am lazy too, you may notice that in some of my posts.....I dont delete, I just give a very lengthy excuse :P
But dont you think the english language is odd?
eg; Tear as in rip, or tear as in cry. Flare and flair.
Im not that worried about spelling mistakes in posts as long as I can understand the gist, my OH cant spell for toffee, but he is rather dishy and intelligent just coz he dont spel rite dont make im a dunce ;D ;)

What are house prices like in Spunkie ? Quite like the idea of living in Spunkie Manors
I'm also looking for a Feckenham to build a palace there !
I might be interested in a cottage in Cottagers.
Does Butthole Lane have restricted acces or width/height limits.
Is it a one way road? A single lane track ? Or even no entry ?
There's a place in southern Sweeden called BÃ¥stad. Anyone know if its been twinned with anywhere?
At the moment I'm at Whits End.
