After going chippy for my tea today i was looking at the menu, and could not believe the spelling on the menu, instead of sweet and sour, they had spelt it, sweat and sour, it made me laugh, anyone else come across anything like this.

Re: Takeaways
I was once in a children's playcentre and on the menu instead of 'can of Sprite' it actually said 'can of Spite'

Read in the local rag yesterday that "Canada is at risk from tainted meet." And several years ago I read an excellent review of Mussorgsky's famous opera, "Doris Godunov".

Re: Takeaways
Think I've mentioned this before, but there was a dentist in Haslingden called Dr. P. Nutt, his wife was called Hazel and that's true

Re: Takeaways
Just remembered when I was working with a shopfiting firm we had a job to do in Yorkshire, it was in a little town called Idle, the shop we worked in was next door to the Idle Working Mens Club

Years back, when I was living in Saskatchewan, the local RCMP detatchment was beefed up from one copper to two (I think I mentioned the low population density) ... the new constable was John Feathers, his wife was called Lark ... I first met her at the local bonspiel ... great girl, wonderful sense of humour ... told me that if I laughed at her name she would shove my broom up where the sun don't shine ....
