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?!

Indeed Mr V
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.
