i walked past an italian restaurant yesterday, the specials board proclaimed that chef's recommendation was:
SPAGHETTY WITH MEATBALL'S

On an ironic, pedantic note, shouldn't 'Misspelt' read 'Mispelled' or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Good post.
There was a shop near me, one of those indoor market stall shops which only last a month or so, and instead of having a sign saying 'Closing Down' they has a sign saying 'Closed Down' despite being open for business!

LMFAO - That's priceless
I remember someone telling me that the local Irish club (seriously!) had a sign saying something along the lines of 'Now opening late on Tuesdays....from this Thursday onwards'
