Someone sent me this photo and it reminded me of Caroline's recent Strictly Writing post. The pie master had obviously gone to great lengths to get this wrong.

I'm sure they were being ironic. Or not :o)
Strange, isn't it. If you are going to the trouble of having a bloody great hoarding constructed, you'd think . . . you'd think.
... and how come they "missed" the apostrophe off of Burger's?! Maybe they were covering all bases just in cases...!
Tee hee!

I wonder if anyone's pointed it out to them? I'd have the urge to fetch a ladder and a thick black pen and rectify it!

LOL. How is this type of thing possible?!
Aaaarrrgh!!!
Me again! Had a suddebn thought - it's not really a good advertisement for the sign makers that did it either is it?! Would you have a sign done by them? I think not. They probably don't even realise what's wrong about it. Well the world seems to be 'dumbing down' the English Language and Grammar. So one could say it's just a sign of the times

You know what's really annoying? When you type something like: 'You're my best friend' in your facebook status. And your friend corrects you incorrectly by replying "it's spelled 'your' my best friend". lol!
Suz, you need to find a new, literate, best friend.
And yet... we're all discussing it - maybe they were just intentionally subverting the form (of the English language). I knew a milkman, back when I was one, who wrote COFFIE AVAILABLE on the side of his milk flat. And when people came up to him to point out his mistake, he'd try to sell them something.
Maybe the owner's name was Pie and he also wanted people to know what he sold? Maybe I should get out more.
