Honestly!
Is it that hard to apply spellcheck to signs BEFORE printing them?
Bad enough reading a real estate ad on the back of a local paper and noticing the word SEPERATELY spelled incorrectly – yes it should be sepArately – but perhaps the offence was less because the font was really small.
It seems far worse a crime when it is writ large upon your business.
I blame the sign writers – yes sure they get a brief from the businesses that use them but it should be a basic duty of care to not let your clients look like numpty heads!
It offends my eye.
I hope none of the children in the school opposite fail their spelling tests because of it.
Vacuum.
Vacuum.
Vacuum.
There.
That wasn’t so hard… was it?
(mind you, I’m tempted to get my car washed to get a free vaccum – sounds quite exotic)

Driving down Stirling Highway on the way to work during peak hour in the morning is not fun.
From about eight o’clock it is chockers between Eric St and Claremont shopping centre… and I mean chockers.
But there is one bright spot on the journey…
It’s an office where the old fire station used to be at the top of the hill just before you start the slow crawl past the two private schools whose mummies and daddies insist on dropping their little darlings off… at least I assume that’s why it is so slow… during holidays time the drive is a breeze.
Every week or so there is a new headline…
Last week was “More Storm damage in Victoria” referring of course to the Melbourne Storm rugby league team salary cap fiasco, and before that “All batts are off” referring to the Peter Garrett home insulation embarrassment.
I can’t wait for them to change the signs and I was rewarded with my patience on Saturday when I drove past and saw their comment on the Troy Buswell/Adele Carles affair.
Cute.

Seen at my local bank today.
I suppose they are trying to be cute.

If you saw this sign – what kind of establishment would you think you’d be entering?
A bottle shop… right?
Trust Margaret River to find a way to make the local bottle-oh sound classy… it was the fellows walking out with a bag of ice and a slab of beer that gave them away…
What next?
The Margaret River Regional Food Centre for their local supermarket?
Headlines that make me laugh
