No, but Welsh mobs in isolated villages (such as Swansea) have been known to believe that daleks are, in fact, the English.
Spelling on home-made signs Page 3
While working at gas station in my teens I accidentally put the price of gas on the sign to:
91.5 cents per liter instead of 61.5 cents per liter.
As I'm sure you've guessed I basically just put the 6 upside down.
It was late at night when I did it and so no one seemed to notice until the morning shift guy came in. Apparently he heard complaints about it all day long from people who were driving by. He didn't notice until some guy came in bitching that our gas price was rediculous because it was only 62 cents down the road. People are so touchy when it comes to gas prices, if he would have put two and two together he would have realized our price was lower and that I had just put the stupid number upside down.
Pumping gas has to be one of the most demeaning jobs ever.
A guy was standing in the road and panhandling as I waited at a traffic signal on my way home from the office today. His sign read:
HOMELES
GODBLES
I think he ran out of room for the extra letters, but the rest of the sign was well-executed, with multiple colors and an artistic flair. Perhaps business was bad, because he'd scribbled VET in the middle of his sign. All panhandlers' signs should contain as many of these words as possible: homeless, hungry, God bless, veteran, anything helps. I've seen many signs that contain all of the key words.

It's still one up from pumping hoes for a cheap Welsh porn flick.

I'm sure the pay is at least better.

Good God.

The thing that irritates me most in signs is the misused apostrophe.
BTW slaga''s, this one was a thing of beauty!

That's horrific.
Some bloke in our village put up a sign saying:
CAR BOAT SALE AHEAD.
Knob.
In a café in Hastings (I was going to call it a caff but Aaron blue-pencilled that the last time) I saw the following written on a blackboard.
Sausages Beans and Chip's
Shepherds Pie and Chip's
Ham Egg's Sausages and Bean's
And then for some reason:
Chicken Curry Rice and Chips
I think that maybe they'd used up all of their apostrophe's I mean apostrophes by the time they got to the curry
*shudder*
(Well remembered. )
