Check before you advertise!

Ok, so it is not linked to my bucket list, but these just make me laugh

My brother has a obsession with a misplaced apostrophe, on many occasions he has been found laughing in shop windows at bad grammar.  Now I know this is sad and he is going through his midlife crisis, but as I have stated he is a big influence in my life and I now have started noticing advertising faux pas.

As and when I find them I will post them here for entertainment purposes only, and if anyone out there reads this and finds one of these, please email me or tweet me a picture and I will post and credit you with the finding.

I think I should have a section dedicated to Bolton New Faux Pas
You would think with the sensitivity of the story that there would be certain checks to do before publishing



Wouldn't OCD make you check things before you advertise?

Twe is obviously very upset that the BBC cannot spell
"Manager" and refer to him as a Manger!
BBC - this is terrible!

 Twe? are you actually a Shift Manger? or a Manager?
I think the term 'mentally challenged' suits me best mate

Working in travel, Clare often sees the word "Accommodation"
