Sign spelt incorrectly.

Leading on from the previous thread what is the worst 'professional' spelling mistake you have seen? Mine was a diversion sign which said 'DIVERTED TRAFIC'

In the Main Post Office in my nearest town (sorry, City), they have all these signs hanging from the ceiling, including one which says stationary. I never know whether I should stand still underneath it! Note this is the MAIN Post Office in the City centre! (Come to think of it though, I've never seen those envelopes move............)

driving school near me used to offer duel control cars.

when road works were in operation locally, a sign was erected to say that the 'Garden Centre was open for buisness as usual'

[gingerflaps]

the funniest spelling mistake i have seen was on a website, a dyslexic person must have been doing the road signs that day because the 'STOP' sign on the road said 'SOPT'  it was rarther amusing

When I used to work on the roads, I asked a white liner if he had ever painted SLOM on the road or something similar. He said the closest he had come was at the Dorchester hotel on Park Lane. They were supposed to paint CHAUFFEURS, but no one could decide how to spell it, so they ended up painting CHAF'S.

strawberrys local growed   1968

The strawberries were OK - which only goes to show that growing and spelling are disjoint skills

Many years ago there was a temporary sign at road works that said 'Dancer ahead' but did not mention the danger.

A sign at the entrance to a private road reading "Private: No Pubic Right of Way"

Our local Co-op had a whole section of cards, all in different designs, every single one of which said 'Granddad'.

in Tesco's today, they had some wine on special offer with the following blurb: "Drink me! dry and very, very moorish". It was an Australian wine so not very Moorish, but probably quite moreish

Saw this at a Scouts meeting
Different countrys!

where I work, in the locker room, there is a sign (which is used in every store) that says "items left at there owners risk"

I saw a plumber's van the other day, and on the side was printed "To problem to wee."

Wee obviously being the Scottish for small, so what he meant was that no job was too small, but what he said is, well, quite different!

[netibiza]

In a restaurant in Spain the sign said vegatables - I've always wondered!! soozmac maybe the wee was a pun what with being a plumber and all that.

[soozmac]

Netibiza - it's a nice thought, but I reckon he was just a moron!

I live in Bedford, when the painters arrived to paint the new sign for British Rail, it was spelt BRITITISH RAIL. Photo appeared on Esther Rantzen some years ago.
