Mistakes on Menu's

So Bill's a whore, what's the problem?

The funniest thing to me is that it's written as a plea.
Won't someone ask in the fish & chip shop? Oh the humanity!

Sundae has asked me to post this on her behalf.



I assume that the solders of toast helped the current to flow.

'Scrabbled Egg'? One should never play with one's food.

Slavish obedience to auto correct or rank incompetence? The jury is still out on that one.

How big is that, a sign or printed on a menu/table card/napkin?

[Sundae]

It's a sign in the window - A4.
I was looking especially at the breakfasts (nom nom nom) and when I noticed the errors I took a photo.
I didn't bother to check the rest of it, so you're just seeing what I saw.

Oh shit, a sign in the window? Scare them away before they even get inside and get a whiff that might temp them. Major ooops.

The thing is, there are SO MANY cafes/ tea shops/ eateries in this town, selling the same and usually at lower prices.
I know that independents can't compete with large chains (actually I think Wetherspoons is the only one with national buying power) and I do not begrudge anyone a living. But for me, that's like having surly staff or dirty cutlery. It can so easily be avoided. It's just silly.

I'm tempted, I must admit.
After going into 'Spoons last Sunday week and they couldn't even get toast right.
It's almost like a reverse appeal - if people still eat there even with the inept signage, maybe the food really is good.

Been culling my old photos.
Found these two I took and never posted.
I've actually been kind in the recruitment pic, by removing all the contact details.


On the Princess Cruises advert it may seem I'm being a little picky (well, yes I am) but these cruises are expensive. It doesn't say much to me about their attention to detail if there can be three mistakes in one small advert.

Tesco apologises after making two spelling mistakes in single pack of baby clothes.
One babygrow carries the slogan 'I was born awsome' while another reads 'Daddys little man'.

Two baby suits from Tesco, one carrying the slogan "I was born awsome" - missing out the first E in 'awesome' (left) and the other missing a possessive apostrophe as it reads "Daddys little man" (right), resulting in the supermarket chain promising to brush up on its spelling and grammar.

Supermarket chain Tesco has promised to brush up on its spelling and grammar after making two separate mistakes in a single pack of baby clothes.

The parents of three-month-old Alexander Kendall spotted the errors after being given the set of five Tesco F&F long sleeve bodysuits as a present.
One of the suits carries the slogan "I was born awsome" - missing out the first E in 'awesome'. Another misses a possessive apostrophe and reads "Daddys little man".

Tesco responded after Alexander's father pointed out the errors on Twitter.
It offered a refund or exchange and said: "Sorry about this, we've made our suppliers aware of this so it can be corrected for future stock."

Mother Sophie Kendall, 28, from Norwich, said: "We both work as journalists so are perhaps a bit more pedantic about these things than most.
"Fortunately Alex is a long way off being able to read so we'll just use the suits and hope nobody notices."

mmmm, ahhhh, fresh cotton hand soap, now with more dandelion.

[Gravdigr]

...from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth"...

I wouldn't think I'd want anything to smell like lion teeth.

[BigV]

well, to be honest, it smells like soap. it's "supposed" to have that fresh cotton scent. why they chose a dandelion blossom gone to seed as the image for "cotton" is just a brain fart on their marketing staff's part. this same soap now shows cotton, on the stem, just like this is dandelion on the stem. they're both kinda whitish, kinda roundish, kinda plantish.

that or someone thought that was a picture of cotton.
