"No food aloud"

[StormGlass]

I went into a small greengrocers shop today, and they had a sign next to the door saying "No food aloud".

WIBU to ask them why they're discriminating against noisy food?

I am also one of those people who will correct a sign if I have a pen on me!

Crime profilers help murder police

Not a mistake as such but this made me laugh. Surely everyone knows what this is? :)

I'd certainly expect someone who sells fruit to know what a banana is!

That naming system is OK for bananas but could be tricky for others.

Round yellow fruit - plum
Large round yellow fruit - melon
Medium-sized pointy-ended round yellow fruit - lemon

Apologies for the Fail link

A stall in my local market has a sign:

"Shoe's £10"

It irks me every time I see it.

Do you think it's £10 per shoe?

Cafe in the neighbouring suburb where I used to live was called 'Trishes Cafe'!. FGS, she couldn't even spell her own name!. Apologies for the lack of accent on the 'e' in cafe - I don't know how to do it!

diffuse vs defuse

You defuse a dangerous situation, or a bomb.

Diffuse is to spread around.

They're not the same and it drives me nuts!

Not related to fruit but had to say it.

Mind you DD has diffused a good few bananas in her time, does that count?!

Trills, in the current economic climate, it wouldn't surprise me if it WAS £10 a shoe!

MapofTassie In a similar vein, I used to live near a shop called:

'Joeies'

I can only assume it was supposed to be called 'Joey's'

There's a social club near us that has this on the sign outside:

Partie's, anniversarie's, wedding's

The place is called... The Moles Rest.

Makes me smile every time I drive past

Maybe they're referring to those annoying people who masicate loudly. (I hate them. Hate hate hate).

Masticate too.

theres a shop near me that sells "mens ware,childrens ware,womens ware" annoys me every time i walk past

our local paper published a headline 'slum with a vew' to describe a once grand house left to rot that overlooked the sea. also sign outside the back door at the department for education at the local council 'goods recieved'

I worked in a really crappy shop when I was a schoolkid. The boss was a total cow and stuck stupid signs up everywhere.

I still remember that, at the bottom of the posters, she always wrote "by order of the manger".

"Place's still available" - spotted in the window of a hideously expensive day nursery, alongside other posters bragging about their excellent OFSTED report, the educational opportunities they provide for EYFS etc. I have seen similar at DS's nursery and so far resisted the temptation to comment for fear of looking twatty.

I saw an item on ebay for a Rabbit Bowel

I may of asked if it came complete with poo

May have Oldraver

I frequently drive past a sign that says 'Cold drink's sold hear'
