I'd like to thank my reader Beverley, who sent this picture. She says it was in the window of a Tesco supermarket in the U.K.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Obviously without cream lollies the signwriter and proof-reader are unable to do their jobs adequately.
Lack of coffee has the same effect on me!
Looks like the print shop is having unforeseen technical issues of their own.
I had no idea what a cream lollie was. Should have known: ice cream lolly
Guess I can't think outside or inside the novelty box
what's a cream lollie?
OK, I thought I could read English. I understand every word but have no idea what the sign actually means other than no cream lollies.
My English teacher would be spinning in her grave if she saw that sign.
This is a perfect example of why people should read their signs, letters, notes, etc OUT LOUD before printing...WOW...
You can spell "technical" but not "ice"? WTF?
So THAT'S that Queen's English?
Is cream,
Us cream
We alls cream...
Unfortunately, I'm seeing more and more of this. Apparently spelling and grammar are no longer taught either in US or UK schools. I even see newspaper/magazine articles, which supposedly have a proofreading process, with multiple errors.
People rely too much on the computer's spell-checker, and not on another set of eyes (proofreader).
wv= unkegr: what should be done to sober up enough to proofread?
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." W.J.C.
How about 'We're out of ice cream mix and won't have any 'til tomorrow? Sorry!'
I just love poorly spelled signs. It give me cause to wonder, as well as a feeling of superiority (if I think I know what the sign is supposed to mean).
With this sign from the UK, one has to think that the printer may actually be spelling somewhat phonetically.
the best sign like this that i ever saw was taped to a table that was partly collapsed. it read:
"table broken please."
my friend stole it. she probably still has it to this day. :-)
