Bad English happens everywhere...

..at my place of work, underneath a photo of a trashed 45ft trailer:
'The purpose of load restraint is designed to prevent this accident from happening'

'Please Extinguish All Cigarettes As This Could Represent A Fire Hazard'

..but the one that really winds me up is the roadside cafe sign:

'Full English Breakfast's'

I can see this descending into the realms of chav text speak. Perhaps now is the time to pull back on the column and advance the throttles?!

We have managed to sink lower than a snakes belly in a wheel rut so let's slither out before we become permanently afflicted

I make entirely sure I don't make ridiculous mistakes like that when I write reports for my site. There's no excuse for poor English in journalism, amateur or not.
