Police go back to the drawing board - Notice-gate, part two
Remember this from a few weeks ago?
It is a photo of a notice I glanced upon in the window of the police station on the Isle of Dogs.
I didn’t actually catch what it said at the time because I was so impressed with all the spelling mistakes.
It must have taken some effort to squeeze that many typos into so few words.
After I had finished counting I snapped it on my iPhone, it was after all a golden nugget in the news blogger’s panning dish.
It was my topic for discussion that day.
It was my topic for discussion that day.
There are eight mistakes all in all, and at the time I questioned how a respectable public body, in charge of our safety and security put up such a display of shoddy slap-dashery.
It shows the police clearly can’t spell. Ok I suppose that’s not what we pay them for, but at least set a good example by getting someone who can to type up public notices.
A couple of weeks later it had gone.

But, like an irritating rash, it was back up again as I strolled past the other day.
Although... hang on a minute, it seems someone has been at it with a bottle of correction fluid - metaphorically speaking.
Somebody it seems has gone away and brushed up their grammar before having another go.
Ok, on closer inspection they could still do better, but they have made one correction.
Can you spot what it is? (Answers later this week)
Without further a do - here is the latest installment in what I have affectionately Christened “Noticegate” - part two........
Come on boys in blue, let's try harder!!
