Actually, I've just checked the Garforth Cobbler's website where, amongst an array of typos, the sign is proudly featured.
I hope he never has to engrave anything that requires plurals or apostrophes.
Oops. Spoke too soon.

Thanks to Dennis A who captured this one in, well, Garforth.

Like the Yorkshire stonemason who was asked to chisel "She Was Thine" on a headstone. When the stone was delivered, it read "She Was Thin"
ReplyDeleteThe client complained, obviously, saying "You've missed the "e" off the headstone"
After a few days, the headstone came back with the inscription:
"Ee, She Was Thin"
