sign on market veg stall ...

[christMAScomesbutonceayear]

actually,it's mean to be a pedant about this as it made me laugh, but I saw a sign on the big purple vegetables which read OBOS
there were also 'advocardos' for sale

be grateful they didn't even attempt to spell aubergines! Honestly, fruit and veg shops etc are the worst perps of this kind of spelling/grammar abuse.

Ah, but to be fair, the market stalls are often the worst for spelling mistakes and apostrophe's in the wrong place's BUT the traders generally have mental maths skills second to none!!

Perhaps it is all a cunning marketing ploy to get your attention. OBOS would certainly get mine!

yes,agree-their maths skills would put me to shame !
I certainly did notice OBOS - there were also clemintines

Reminds me of George Bush and the "potatoe" incident!

At the risk of being pedantic wasn't that Dan Quayle, not Bush?

Hmmm, I'm sure it was Bush but he is such an easy target, I'm happy to stand corrected.

I have a feeling it was Quayle too.

A farm up the road from me has a huge sign up - POTTOES

They're on the right track, plural and no apostrophe, I suppose

It was Dan Quayle. Who also explained his lack of knowledge of Latin America by explaining that he didn't speak latin. And who told us: "I believe space is almost infinite."
