It's all Greek to me

Manchester City Council.

How can you justify using public funds to pay the type of person who can come up with something as shoddy as this?

Roll up, roll up

Thanks to Zoe D for pointing me towards Walmart's version of rolling back its prices.

Keep left, right?

Thanks to Trev L for sharing this one, though I'm not sure where it originated.

But I'd have loved to have been there to witness the result.

This is shop

I challenge you to read this poster in anything other than a foreign accent.

At least they apologise for their verbal diarrhoea.

Left right in the lurch

To many people 'left is right and right is wrong' is a valid political statement.

Here's a paradigm shift for you, courtesy of Steve R and others.

In this case, left is right and right is right too.

Giving it 110%

Della Farzad thought she'd snagged a bonus when she bought this packet of ham in an Aldi shop in Wakefield and noticed that it contained 110% British Pork.

An Aldi spokesperson explained helpfully that the figures are correct, though they should have been expressed in grams rather than percentages.

So, not correct then.

But wait just a doggone minute, Aldi. Something's not quite right here.

If the amount of pork is, as you affirm, 110g, then what the hell makes up the other 290g of product?

Bull? I think so.

Bested

On a large billboard, the University of South Dakota proves it's the best.

The best at what, exactly?

Apparently, Tena Haraldson, Director of marketing communications and media relations for the university is quoted as saying, 'It happens.'

Though I suspect that's not quite what she said.

Sweet Fanny Adams

It sounds like that's all you'll get if you buy this product.

Looking on the bright side, it's safe to say that there's no added sugar.

Sub-sea secret

So that's how they do it. What a novel idea. Who'd have thought?

In Spike Milligan's immortal words: Damned clever these Chinese.

Warts and f-ck all

Have you ever wanted to know more about Human Papillomavirus?

No, nor have I.

But, for one reason or another, Jon C has. And, when he came across this publication by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, he discovered, well, not very much really.

The front cover showed promise...

But, from page 2, things just went downhill...

Until he reached the stunning back cover design...

The book stops here

You can't come in until you can come in.

But exactly when that will be is anyone's guess.

Sevens o'clock

Angie J was at sixes and sevens when she first clocked this.

Well, at sevens at least.

Be prepared

Thanks to Trev L for finding this at apostrophecatastrophes.com

Like a good Scout, you should always Be Prepared.

Just in case you turn up to work at Walmart and they ask you to produce a poster.

Get a loald of this

Elf Odin (@ElfOdin) suggests that whoever put up the sign must have been just as loalded as the New Dare Devil Grilers.

I feel like I'm speaking in tongues.

Tes_______co

Have you seen what those caring people at Loughborough Tesco have done?

Luckily Tom L took several photos so we can appreciate exactly what's happened.

Liquid lunch

It doesn't say what type of establishment is being visited.

Presumably it's a hospital where you'd think they'd be able to bring about a coma.

Sorry. A comma.

At least Waldemar Łysiak should feel justified.

Rights issue

To appreciate fully this photo from Dennis A, you need to know that, in the UK, we drive on the left. So, when we were youngsters at school, it was rammed into us daily that we should stop at the kerb of a two-way street and look right to see the oncoming traffic.

It follows therefore, at least in the minds of Gosport council workers apparently, that, on the other side of the same two-way street, you should look left.

When the error was brought to the attention of Gosport council, to compound the felony, the employees deleted both signs when, clearly, the Look Right one was always correct.

A case of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing.

Laughing stock

The laugh's on Asda as Katy L discovers this t-shirt for sale in the George section.

As people of a certain age will already have said to themselves in Joyce Grenfell's voice,

'George, don't do that.'

Strikingly obvious

It's pretty clear, especially to FirstNameisBlank Jon, that this particular company doesn't really care enough about its customers.

Sale sale

The Sainsbury's store in Sale is having a sale.

Well, not so much of a sale, actually.

But there's no denying the original price has been completely slashed.
