Mumsnet Talk

HUGE lettering up by the tills in TK Maxx. Don't know if this is just our branch or everywhere. It's all in lower case, which I don't have a problem with as it looks more "arty", but it says:

"this store's best delivery arrive's every monday...."

What?

WHAT?

WHAT??

It's one of those situations where you think - hang on. This is not some chalked-up thing done by one person. This has been sanctioned and observed at several levels. It took someone a lot of effort to put that apostrophe there physically (the letters are all individual "pieces" stick up).

I mean... WHY? HOW??

Oh good Lord that's bad! You should have taken a picture

I did

Will you take this any further? As you say, it would have been checked by more than one person. Outrageous!

Gah.

Enormous Herefordshire Council outdoor banner:

Welcome to the Antique's and Craft Fair.

To be fair, someone had spotted it and Tippexed out the apostrophe, but the Tippex had created a Touch Eclat effect, and highlighted it even more.

Lol at Touche Eclat effect.

Use Tippex instead? Good idea actually..that'll save a few quid!

I always mentally tippex out the extra 'x' too in Maxx. What's that all about anyway?

I didn't think 'TK Maxx' was supposed to invoke any "real" words, so their name doesn't bother me

TK Maxx...

Why is it TJ Maxx in the US?

Someone bought DD a T-shirt from Asda once which said "lovely strawberry's" on it.

It went straight in the charity bag.

I kid you not

I stood outside and phoned my husband, shouting about how this proved why they deserved to go bust.
