Purse List

GETTING A BIG GLOSSY POSTER FOR YOUR SHOP WINDOW IS A BIT OF A SHOW-OFF.

It doesn’t just tell prospective customers exactly what you can offer, and the costs –  but it also communicates a lot about a business,: the business image, attention to detail and so forth.

I was thus puzzled to spot this glossy poster recently in the window of a big beauty store slap bang in the busy and expensive city centre. “Top Nails in Hollywood“.

They seem to have managed to mis-spell PRICE LIST!  Click on the picture to enlarge; it reads PIRCE LIST.

But that is not all.  Look closer — the Kids’ section is interesting; it is entitled KIND’S NAIL. Things are indeed getting worse.

Under The Spell

IT HAS BEEN ANNOYING FOR YEARS, AND IT’S STILL THERE!

Despite a variety of alterations and modifications to the restaurant and shop over the years, Bella Napoli in Shawlands has never seen fit to fix the sign with the spelling mistake — even though it is the first thing you see when you walk in the door! (Click on the picture to enlarge).

This sign has been there from the very first day the place opened (which was when I first noticed that they couldn’t spell “sandwiches”). I would even forgive the weird extra apostrophe at the end of “Deli”, but not the extra “H”!
