Spelling.

[ludwigvan]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'm sure someone will know the answer to my question, which is this - Is the correct spelling Maintainance or Maintenance? Cheers!

Every time we went past it, my dad would point out the painted hotel sign that said ACCOMADATION

[Tilly2]

I'd go in and tell them, grassy. That would drive me up the wall every time I saw it.

[Tilly2]

aCCoMModation................. two cots and two mattresses. That's how I remember that one.

A friend of mine walks round obliterating unnecessary apostrophes from chalk boards outside shop.

[boxtops]

..or shops

[grasscarp]

I would but I dont think they would care Tilly, let alone change it. I also dont like signs that say Potatoe's!

dont get me started. Have you heard about the dyslexic alcoholic who drowned in his own Vimto.

I sent a friend the Untied clip and received this back from her:


I actually saw the real one

Outside a butchers' shop, a notice:

Untied we stand

presumably if you tied their legs together or something they would fall down.

[mallyh]

no but i've heard about a dyslexic pirate with a carrot on his shoulder

[pixie373]

I expect it's technically correct, grasscarp:-)

[jno]

but the piece of string is all that holds the roasts together!

[hc4361]

Shouldn't that be - outside a butcher's shop?

[jno]

might have been more than one butcher in it, hc4361, there often is.

[hellywelly4]

You're right hc - my excuse is that I just copied and pasted it!!!!

[boxtops]

Grrr, that ghastly woman on Cash in the Attic at the moment persists in calling it

JOOLERY

AArgh!

Two of my favourites from way back:

A butcher handing out blotters to his customers in December - We hope to meat you in the coming year.

A shop changing to new premises put up a notice:

This stationery shop is moving.

I'd go with 'TEN'
