Needing a p

Jon C noticed that someone involved with the production of this shop sign in Oxford Street, London not only forgot about the apostrophe in St John's Wood but is also in dire need of a p in West Hampstead.


The journey by Tube from Bond Street to West Hampstead, according to Transport for London, takes about 10 minutes.

They'd better cross their legs.

Hello, sailor

As Tom L says when reading all about the latest Geordie Shore news on heatworld.com, 'They'll let anyone join the Navy these days.'


One thing's for sure.

She'll be going commando.

Killing time

Doesn't anyone at the BBC check anything anymore?

If you were feeling that way inclined, you might have welcomed this opportunity extended by a headline on the BBC News website yesterday morning.


It was changed pretty quickly.

Probably as soon as GCHQ rang up.

I before E

Jon C takes us back to Peterborough today. Specifically to the Virgin Media shop there.

The Manager was doing so well when writing this poster.

'I before E except after C, I before E except after C, I before E...'

Doh.


What's that? Except students?

Must have been giving the Manager too much stick about the spelling.

Katz out of the bag

In only his second week in one of the top jobs at the BBC, Newsnight Editor Ian Katz thought he was sharing his opinions with one of his Twitter friends in a direct message. That's a private message. You know the type. The ones that start with a single letter d.

Katz is a former Deputy Editor at The Guardian newspaper, so you'll already appreciate where this is heading.

Sure enough, he omitted the d, thereby alerting the whole of his 20,000 or so followers, and the rest of the world for that matter, to his private thoughts about his programme and, in particular, about one of its interviewees: Rachel Reeves, the Labour MP for Leeds West and the Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury.


In just four lines he manages to say in one tweet everything you need to know about him.

Ms Reeves's reply was much more succinct, very funny and summed up her thoughts about him perfectly.
