Best ad Typo


Recommended Posts

Posted

You used to see some howlers when adverts were phoned in to the local rag. The one that I still remember was a motorbike with a 'racing fern'.

A bit off topic but in a previous life I worked at a factory which used strontium and manganese octoates. An operator unfailingly referred to these as scrotium and mankynees. Many years later I still refer to those metals by these monikers.

Not a typo, but what do you call this sort of foot-in-mouth phrase?

 

 

And this is missing a *

My old landlady's painter always referred to off white beige as "mongolia"

I remember seeing, fairly recently, a Rover 220 Coupe on Ebay (the "Tomcat" model) being advertised as a "Rover Top Cat". Wish I'd kept it now.

Well if it's non car related, my mum worked with someone who came out with some real gems, but the one I remember because it's used by us now, is that she had her kitchen ceiling azteced.

More unrelated, was watching 'Fifteen To One' with my mum years ago - the question was 'Who was Scrooge's deceased business partner/ghost in Dicken's 'The Christmas Carol'", and my mum answered 'Bob Marley!' HA HA. (It's Jacob Marley).

Here you have my Laguna. I've had for just over 3 years and it is a great little runner with some bad points first of all the good points, it average' about 50mpg, its very clean threw out and only the one scratch on the drivers door, has always started first time and has had no engine or gearbox trouble since I've owned the car I have all service history from when I've owned the car but just a few MOT certificates from before

Now the bad points, The eclectics are its main fault, the drivers window will now wind down however all the rest will. The blowers/fan is not working. The indicators are not working. And also it will not lock. The window wipers come on and off as they like. The MAF sensor is faulty. and that about covers it, I believe all the electrical faults could be the ECU or Fuses or a bad earth I really don't know but I've been as honest as possible.

If your still interested any viewing is welcome, and please payment an collection within 7 days thank you

I think Renault Laguna eclectics could become a new Autoshite phrase

Non car related one:

 

Used to work with an old lady who asked me to 'collaborate' her weighing scale.

 

Won't join in the LOL at spelling fail - as i'm rubbish when it comes to spelling etc.
