How did this get all the way onto the shelf

My son came back with this gift for his nan today. She’s as pedantic as me so she will hate it 😂

But how does a mistake like this slip past all the stages of manufacture without anyone picking it up?

Having previously spotted "Window pain check" curtains, may I offer you this delightful mug?

They definitely have 'cult item' potential!

I'm surprised you've deigned to join a site called "Mumsnet".

Our surgery has a 6 foot vinyl sign pointing the correct healthcare options.

if you are ‘vomitting’ you should stay at home.

I’ve told them many times lol

Rage-bait coaster.

They missed one!

The choose is stark: utilise the language of the infant, or preserve one's dignity. 🤨

Ha a rash of apostrophes there.

There's nothing dignified about snobbish linguistic pomposity.

At least get it correct 😂

That kind of snootiness about a word your family doesn't happen to use is a worse insult to language than redundant apostrophes.

This came up in my memories from 10 years ago today!

And this is from Tesco in 2013

I’ve had this Christmas tree dec for about 15 years - I only spotted the mistake a couple of years ago🤪

Oh god so bad 🙈🙈🙈
It really grates on me looking at it

But how does a mistake like this slip past all the stages of manufacture without anyone picking it up?

I think part of the answer is that these days "all the stages of manufacture" just means Keith typing it into the software (and pinging it overseas).

Ooh I have one from Waitrose:

correct 👍🏾. i was in the pub, but inexcusable nonetheless 😔

F

Took me a while to get that!

How funny. I didn’t get that at all for a while, I thought the last part was still to the customer.

Dreadful, OP. I'd be contacting the company.

Exactly. I’m a pedant and a grandmother. I’m also a South London cockney so I’m happy to be called ‘Nan’. To be called the grandma alternative would make me sound a ridiculous snob x

It's Mamar around here. I hate it.

Do you live in Berkeley Mansions, perchance?
