and I was wondering, what signs/pieces of writing. Have you seen around the world which because of incorrect grammar have made you laugh, shudder or cringe.

There are some cracking signs around.

There's one in front of the bed shop on Garth Lane that says:

Strickly No Parking.

Thing is, they must have bought them in a shop because they have two of them!

A new psychic place has opened up on Lestrange Street except that when they first had their sign painted it said 'Physchic'. I think they payed for a proper company to do the sign too. emoticon Chuckles.

I've seen some funny signs. There's a famous NHS sign, don't know if you've seen it. I could post it here, but it may be too rude for some... it concerns 'family planning' emoticon
