Making it snappy

We have Jon C to accuse thank today for this photo which he took in the loo at Peterborough railway station. It's been quite some time since we visited Peterborough, the typo centre of the UK. I almost miss the place. Almost.

Anyway, I find it amusing that the cleaning staff make their hourly checks (the emphasis must be important) as couples which, with it being Peterborough, I guess must amount to double-Czechs.

But it's not so much the content that makes me laugh.

No. It's more the obvious camera shake.

Reflecting, as it does, the fact that Jon C was in a hurry to take the picture as he was terrified of being caught lurking in a toilet taking photographs. So he snapped it as quickly as he could.

In fact, he tells me his photo session was as quick as a flash.

And I have no reason to doubt his comparison.

Stop right there

I sometimes wonder exactly what skills are required of a Road Surface Marker. (Is that the correct job title?)

Even if they can't read or spell you'd think that, after writing the same word so many times (they must do, mustn't they?) they'd have come to recognise the correct shapes falling in the correct order.

Especially when there's a massive clue standing right next to them.

Er... no

It's a while since I first came across this sign and I forgot to note where it was spotted.

Christchurch in New Zealand I seemed to remember.

For confirmation, I've just done the obvious thing and Googled 'Catherdral Square' Christchurch to find that there are over 700,000 results.

So, whoever's responsible for the error is clearly not alone and shouldn't feel too bad.

Haha!

I've just Googled 'Cathedral Square' Christchurch and there are only 400,000 results.

So who's wrong?

Time ferk offee

Thanks to Dennis A and Wendy R, among others, who sent in this photo of the back of a café in St Sepulchre Gate, Doncaster.

What? You didn't think that...

You people!

It's a F*ck-in T.

Dove tale

It's just occurred to me that it's been a while since we shopped at Tescon. Er, Tesco.

Hmph. Nothing has changed.

It's still lying and cheating its way into our wallets.
