Tesco’s horsemeat didn’t bother me, but this does… Won’t someone think of the kids?!!!

But birthday IS rock!

Birthdays was a card store, and maybe that – is their world famous ‘Rock’ design?

birthdays is plural & non possesive, fail in correct use of apostrophe.

Top of the class. Have a gold star. I hadn’t noticed. 😉

So just to confirm for myself is the card right or wrong?

Who is Birthday and why do they have a rock?

Morrison’s Morrisons….

(Of course, you’ll say that was deliberate…)

The supermarket belonged to Mr Morrison at some point I presume. They will have dropped the apostrophe at some point; incorrectly, in my opinion, but if Kwikfit are allowed to exist, who am I to argue?

Ooft! 3 edits to eliminate some rookie errors in that last one. I must be tired… or losing my touch.

Did you pay for it at the “ten items or less” isle?

I avoid those on grammatical principle.

I notice the card behind has got “Here’s to you!” written on it, so they’re making less mistakes than they could.

Surely that’s another reason to stop shopping at Morrisons?

Did you pay for it at the “ten items or less” isle?

I think any supermarket with an isle in it, whether its name is grammatically correct or not, must be worth visiting.

Thats why mums’ gone to iceland

isle?

is’le.

Damn my fat fingers and little smart phone.

Ten items or fewer?

After that, I need a bottle of Pil’s

they’re making less mistakes

*cough* fewer *cough*

Surely it’s Morrisons because it was William and Hilda who were referred to in the plural – and it was a family business

Ken took over later on

Doesn’t excuse the card tho…

It was at Tesco. Hence another reason to shop at Morrisonseseses.

Plus, if it belonged to two Morrisons, it would be Morrisons’.

Noticed that Booths in Keswick has ‘ten items or fewer’ on their signs

You can imagine the frothing from the middle-classes who shop there if they hadn’t done that 🙂

My Dad was a professional pedant, and he loves Booths (in Knutsford)

Milk bomb in store. Use the card in court for an excuse for your bad behaviour.

*or reason.. <rtired

Is it spelt proper on the £2 version?

Don’t think the grammar police were about 100 years ago …too bufy forting out f’f and s’s

Btw – Morrisons also managed to fail QC on several kids items from china…such as a 6-legged octopus toy and a multiplication table that said 4×2 = 9
