    Got to say if it were done for my company either somebody internally would be getting a reaming or the company undertaking the work would be doing a very nice touch up job depending on where the fault lies. Worrying that the bus company and one presumes the sign-writers must have proof read it. Even the bloke doing it should really have thought that it was wrong and questioned it.

    Glad I'm not the only one Norfolkbhoy <ok>
    There's a cafe in Cromer with a wall-mounted enamel sign on the street advertising
    such delights as 'tea's' and 'coffees' - one or other of those surely has to be wrong <grr>
    Sorry, but that's one thing that really get's my goat!! :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Nobody cares Cromer, except you and me. Oh , and Norfolkbhoy. One of my personal favourites on a North Lowestoft pub "Belgium Beer's" - two mistakes in two words!

    I'm sure it can't be that much of a job to change it - I'll even buy the paint so they can correct it!!!! <doh>

    Mrs CT was teaching in a Naafolk primary school. One kid asked her how to spell "Sharpen". She asked what the sentence he was using it in was. He said "On Saturday I went to Norwich with my mum. We went sharpen"
