Groooaaan. :haha:

The Bucks Herald.

I've also seen it spelt as 'Alesbury'. The long gone Aylesbury Brewery Company could have had a field day with that.

Oh gods this is everywhere here... Does it have to be restricted to restaurant menus?

I mean... There's this:

I went to them to register a complaint last week
(My immigrant just wasn't absorbent enough).

Outraged? By a mispelling? They'd never survive in the U.S..

Outraged by an official sign for their town being misspelt.

I don't think people are particularly outraged by spelling errors generally.

Maybe we have a different definition for outraged here?
I've never been outraged by any porn. Sickened by some I've come across accidentally, but mostly it's either a turn on or it's not.

But yes, I do think it's outrageous that the Highways Agency, or whoever makes these signs, cannot proof check the name of a LOCAL town before erecting a sign.

Felt the same about the Walthamstow sign.
There's no excuse for it.
Menus and market signs are all very funny, but you can choose not to buy if you're really that bothered (I am generally just amused). But the station signs and road signs, who pays? We do.

Damnit. Now you've been and gone and made me sound like The Taxpayers' Alliance.

Well it's true here also. Commercial sign mistakes are amusing, but screw-ups by government agencies provokes more anger than mirth.

Yes, it's another apostrophe catastrophe.

Unfortunately, I have a prior engagement on the 28th, so will be unable to attend. :rolleyes:

Another old favourite...
The shop that can't be moved.

No matter how much you push the envelope, it's stationary.

I wonder what it was known as informally?

Taken in Torrington, Wyoming during my last visit in 2004.
I really would like to make a return visit, but I don't know when, or if, I shall get the opportunity..

I personally can not get past the image brought to mind when I read "Super 8" and hear "supperate". The very last thing I want to do is lie down there. **shudder** :vomit:

Trying to purchase "stationary coke" would make for a fantastic Monty Python style sketch.

I imagine that Bill will not be at all pleased.
