) day started.
Perfect for Family Sunday's
(as someone on my FB posted the other day)Just bumping this up again! It’s still one of the funniest posts I’ve ever read. I commented on it a while ago.Oh my God, this just made me remember a time when a 'posh lady' called our office (I worked in travel).
She says, 'Oh hello, I'm running late because I'm stuck in Splarshen Darsh.
Cue me, wondering where the hell Splarshen Darsh is.
I responded with 'Can I take your booking reference?'
'No, I've not made a booking'
'Ok, we'll make one now for you'
'I don't need a booking. I'm in my car'
'Ok...erm...'
She proceeded to tell me that she worked in our Head Office (down South) and was visiting our office (up North) but was stuck in Splarshen Darsh.
I said that I'll pass the message on. So informed my big boss, who looks at me and says 'Where the hell is Splarshen Darsh?' Thinking she was coming via Germany (in her car!!)
Google gets involved. Everyone around gets involved.
10 minutes later she arrives.
We discovered that Splarshen Darsh was actually Splash and Dash and she was getting her car washed.
Oh the embarrassment!
the absolute shame of turning up to a previous job in a bookshop, and noticing that another employee had attached a sign to the window reading "now open on Sunday's!" - obvs torn down immediately! urgh.Perfect for Family Sunday's
Thank you! I aim to please! I still laugh about it now.Just bumping this up again! It’s still one of the funniest posts I’ve ever read. I commented on it a while ago.
I once went up to a blackboard menu in a pub and wiped out all of the dodgy apostrophes.
I think I love you.I once went up to a blackboard menu in a pub and wiped out all of the dodgy apostrophes.
Admittedly, I might have had a drink
Of course but I bet you did it with a cheeky smile! I'm sure I've done it before too!Admittedly, I might have had a drink
.I know what you mean. I feel like some things I was taught at school now seem to be deemed as incorrect. Don’t even get me started on plurals such as “roofs”Of course but I bet you did it with a cheeky smile! I'm sure I've done it before too!
I have a weird diacotomy though because I became unwell a few years ago and lost the ability to spell and do some things language properly, after previously being a bit of a grammar pedant. It's like having a split personality. I do miss the old me a bit but I also have a much better understanding of say, things like dyslexia so now get how things don't always come easily to people. It's a weird one. The unnecessary 's at the end of names like James still deeply upsets me though
Truly doing God’s work!I once went up to a blackboard menu in a pub and wiped out all of the dodgy apostrophes.
) writing..."I opened my chest of draws" NO!i may or may not have, on occasion, made corrections to unnecessary apostrophes on signs...I once went up to a blackboard menu in a pub and wiped out all of the dodgy apostrophes.
and although i have angrily scribbled corrections on takeaway menus that have been shoved thru my door, i have resisted the urge to post them back thru the door of the takeaways!
