I have just telephoned a shop for the sole purpose of -

[MamaVonG]

telling them they had a spelling mistake on their website

You should join the apostrophe group who write very polite letters to shopkeepers and public institutions regarding their signage:

Dh is seriously tempted.

Which is the shop and question and what was the mistake?

in question.

"clearence"

Small gun shop

bless 'em, too busy playing with their big guns to spell words correctly I suppose!

what's wrong with clearence?

Pedantry is best directed at the unarmed IMO.

Stop wondering. You won't

so, did the fact that they sell guns influence your decision to telephone rather than telling them in person?

LMAO Threadworm!

No, Squonk, I am a very good shot myself

Gun crime is at an all-time high, so MamavonG telephone weapons traders to complain ... about their spelling!

you've got to start somewhere, threadworm

Yes, instead of invading Iraq in search of their weapons of mass destruction, it probably would have been better in so many ways if we'd just located a typo on the Iraqi embassy website.

threadworm .. I just lurve you

MamavonG I hope my posts didn't sound critical. They weren't meant to -- it is only that I am a quipoholic.

(Gee, thanks twig.)

Isn't anyone wondering why MamaG is looking a a gun website?

Hmm yes, gun crime is at an all time high, but I rather suspect it is those people who illegally own guns, rather than responsible licensed people who are going round committing the crimes.

...and i don't think they used shotguns to raid Iraq

argh ignore me. I am a complete stroppy cow tonight

I'm not anti gun ownership by huntin' shootin' fishin' types in green wellies. What do you do with guns Mama?

sorry threadworm, I was in arsey mood yesterday

I do clay pigeon shooting and DH is a green welly fishin' shootin' type

Sorry again for being a nark

You weren't stroppy.

Well, I have a little dog who loves hunting rabbits. And I love watching him. So I haven't got a problem with anyone going out shooting small creatures. Not those dear little clay pigeons, though. They are too sweet.

Today he had a fantastic sprint after a fox. Was fabulous to watch.

...but they taste great in a pie, if al ittle dry
