Twisting your words

It's time for something a little different today.

I include this not for its religious content which I neither support nor oppose, nor for its typos (I've spotted only one so far) but simply as an example of an interesting exercise with words.

Losing count

Not quite what you'd expect to find in Waitrose's window.

What's that you say? A disgruntled photographer taking the picture from that exact position? Or a disaffected employee placing the poster behind the pillar to create maximum negative impact?

Instant carma

If you run an old banger, you might be quids dollars in with such a deal.

Elf Odin opened up a can of worms by sending me the following photo after finding this product in the box bin at a Sam's Club.

Downy is a brand owned by Procter & Gamble so I checked the website and what did I find?

The same product, undoubtedly, which is marketed in the UK under the Lenor brand.

And spelt correctly.

So I went back to the website, this time the US version, and found this.

So, P&G, what we need to know, please, is why the two identical products are spelt differently and, as far as I'm concerned, incorrectly in the US.

Oh, and just one last point.

Despite scrutinising the web sites in the name of research, I still have no idea what this product is nor what it does.

No but yeah but no but yeah

Within the last few minutes, the result of the referendum on Scotland's independence has been confirmed.

It may well have been different if the optimistic Yes campaigners had been in charge of the count.
