I am dyslexic. I find spelling, reading and writing hard.



even I can spell redcurrant. Wilkinson's however can't.....

they had "blackcurrent" to; yet their higher priced plants were spelled correctly... how did nobody notice this during the packaging stage?!?!?

sorry for slight blurryness, camera phone i was trying to hide from staff :lol:

Where were they packed? It may well have been abroad... We all know those hilarious instructions that somebody translated literally from Chinese or so...

Oh you should try to follow the instructions for my microwave made in Korea! They managed OK with the French/Dutch manual that came with it, but the downloadable English version is just gobbledigook! :mrgreen:

Ah yes, when putting my shower cubicle together the experience was 'enlightening!'

We had;
hair cut screws ...cross head screws
temperature slide socket notch :shock: ...temperature valve
and many others. We spent more time working out the meanings than putting the thing together!

When out on the High Seas I was most amused on a run ashore in Dubai to see there was a branch of Safestway :shock: Full corporate Safeway signage too. Wonder if it's a Mooriston's now?

There is also a TGI Thusdays. But that was a wee bit more understandable.
