Funny: Peugeot Cannot Spell....

    This evening I was walking past the Gowan Merrion Peugeot garage and I saw a giant poster in the window offering substantial discounts on New Peugeot Cars.

    Top of the offering is the 407 with a special offer including 16" alloys and a "Panasonic Glass Roof", the word is in fact Panoramic but nobody there seems to know that!

    Now we all make typo's but if you're going to the trouble of getting a 6 foot square poster made up don't you think that someone would have spotted the mistake?

    This reminds me of the Apprentice. Some of them must have been employed there.

    Saw the phone company "Imagine" made up a load of banners with:
    "Hey you paying to much for your phone calls!"

    Kinda makes you lose respect for the company if they can't spell!

    A few years ago, Eason's has great big signs advertising 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix'.

    You'd think they'd be able to spell the Phoenix, given that it's a magazine that sell :D

    I know it's a magazine - his sentence didn't make sense, that's all.
