I've seen worse: like a breakfast menu that boasted sausage's and egg's.

Not to mention numerous Kiwi Biker subject lines that offer photo's. Sigh.

The BDOTGNZA encourages the taking of photos to name and shame!

We went to our local(ish) JB Hifi on Sunday.

I liked the shelf that was displaying "Chordless phones"

I did, however, neglect to take a photo. For which I apologise.

They only made up those idiotic rules since that new Gutenberg machine appeared with his confounded Lingua franca

Strange name for a guard dog...should have had a capital C.

IT guy who didn't check obviously

I guess it is I before E except after C most of the time (unless it's pronounced 'ay' as in weigh/neighbour etc)

**MSTRS:Me** · 23rd February 2011, 08:28

Yea - it's a strange one. Manfield/Manfeild...seems either/or is acceptable. But Feilding is always EI.

LOL! English is the most messed up language of them all. There are always rules but with exceptions. My thoughts are that someone, somewhere along the way, has misspelt it and it's been spelt that way ever since.

Sounds reasonable - the ring tones must be melodies!

I did that. So where's my prize then?

Just for the record, the sign is in Otorohanga and belongs to Troubadour cafe. I asked the waiting person about the sign and she informed me that it was written by a company in Te Awamutu.

Oh and Troubadour has excellent coffee!
