If it’s quality but low price furniture you’re looking for, steer well clear of this establishment in Nottingham.

Thanks to Samantha Moran for resisting the temptation to do ironic “air quotes” with her fingers and instead choosing to take these photos.

And what on earth are those arrows meant to mean? Baffling.

Ok, this guy is either a master of irony or a complete moron.

In case you can’t make it out, the sign says, “Dry Cleaning at it is best”.

Astonishing. Of course it’s the logical next step from the usual mistake of confusing the possesive its with the contraction it’s but still…

Many thanks to Claire who spotted this “somewhere in south London” although here at GrammarBlog we can’t condone photography while driving.

Hang on, we’re not the BBC. Drive and take photos as much as you want. In fact, why not have a couple of beers first?

Thanks to Angela in Essex for this picture of a sign outside her local Italian restaurant.

Either the owner of this restaurant is a wizard with the ability to transmogrify vehicles into amphibians… or he’s a little on the simple side.

A quick Google reveals this unfortunate proprietor isn’t alone in his idiocy.

According to this blog, the Learning Academy day care centre in Murfreesboro placed this note on the windscreen of an unwelcome visitor. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of errors featuring randomised caps and a you’re/your as well as the toad/towed slip-up.

The Learning Academy? Sigh.
