I’ve posted this before. Corjets on a market stall.

I wonder if they had Unterjeans as well?

My favourite is ‘chez lounge’ - seen in a ‘for sale’ ad.

It took me a little while to work out that they meant ‘chaise longue’!

Many years ago one of my students wrote that the astronomer circumcised (instead of circumscribed) the moon.
Another one maintained that the paralysed man (biblical story) climbed onto the roof. ???

Microsoft can be to blame though. I have had it change their to there, and despite my having default English, I get corrections to US spelling. My favourite was changing the name of a concrete jungle school from Bushfield (bad enough) to Beautified.

Back to school has put out the latest batch of stationary offers.

A few years ago now a council sign was erected directing coastal path walkers to Mavagissey ( it should be Mevagissey for those not familiar with the Cornish town)

Maybe it was to do with Cornish pronunciation!

Cattle wondering round the field.

There is (or was) an ice cream manufacturer somewhere in the West Country whose posters for their products were accompanied by text that described their happy cattle 'wondering' around the fields.

The poster was on the wall in a cafe near where I live, and every time I looked at it I couldn't help wandering wondering if I was the only person who ever noticed things like that. Now I know that I'm not.

I am not going to get the picture out of my head now of the cattle wondering around the field. What were they thinking?

A newly qualified medical secretary (back in the day, using audio tapes for hospital clinical letters) was doing an orthopaedic clinic.

She typed “the patient was fitted with a Baloney dressing”

I checked her work over before her letters got sent over to the clinician for signature.

It was meant to be a “below knee” dressing!

These appeared on a FB site that auctions donations to fund help for people in need.

PiscesLady. I had to read that a couple of times before I “saw” it. Hilarious.

"Why are we in this field, then?"
"Well, because we're cows, I suppose"
"Are we?".....

I had à generic text sent by the school, to say that if anyone's child had brung home the wrong jumper, please could they fetch it into the office.

I’ve just seen some flowers on Facebook described as Japanese enemy 😀💐

I saw this on local internet news a while back.

Saw this sign yesterday.
