Saw this advertising hoarding outside a tea shop in Stockbridge - home of the chattering classes of Edinburgh.Where to start?? Okay - why is the word "tea" in inverted commas? Is tea not a normal word that it needs to be accorded quotation marks.?
Reader, I know that you will be way ahead of me in shouting "Why is there an apostrophe in Tea's Coffee's " ? It wouldn't be so wrong if the idiot sign writer at least got it consistently wrong and stuck an apostrophe in the scones and muffins!
And what exactly does "etc" cover in a coffee shop?
What is so worrying is the care they have taken over the squiggly bits in the corner - idiots!
Love it! The recruitment process in that sign makers' studio could do with a little revision. (I think I put the apostrophe in the correct place. More that one sign maker occupies this theoretical studio.)
