Something fishy

Well, I agree with Dennis A who found this. It's not how I would go about attracting customers.

Especially those seeking a degree of discretion, shall we say.

Exceptional standards? No doubt.

Impeccable service? I'm sure of it.

Subtlety? A big fat zero.

No laughing matter

Here's another typo that falls into the not-so-humorous category.


The caption appeared in a recent article in the Welsh tabloid Western Mail about Bob Jones who died earlier this year in a plane crash.


I'm guessing, rather generously I think, that the Journalist was either remembering Mr Jones with 'lots of love' or sending the copy to an editor with the same valediction.

Either way, it should have been spotted by a Proofreader or Sub-Editor before it went to print.

And, in case the Journalist doesn't actually know, LOL stands for Laugh(ing) Out Loud.

Or perhaps in this case, Lowest of the Low.

Mind - Readers required

Not sure that I'd trust these guys with any of my websites.

First of all, their Home page...

london.


Not a good start.

Then their About page...


dediciated instead of dedicated

closley instead of closely

companies resources instead of company's resources

Oh, and they've thrown in a random & for no reason.

It may be their idea of a 'fantastic and high quality service'.

But it ain't mine.

Unsavoury invitation

A great big thank you to Joan C who found this in the September 2012 issue of a free magazine called Go Local which goes out in Haddenham, Bucks and surrounding villages.


Looks like they've got the nibbles covered.
