Offended

Does any one else feel offended by this advert which has appeared on the Main Index page? It seems to imply that the forum members are only interested in beer and oggling women. Oh, hang on .........

I'm more offended by the silly spelling mistake in this banner...

Adblock plus

That looks like a lot of beer for a penny to me - which pub are they drinking at?

I'd send that back, if they served me that, as it looks like larger not beer. Which makes it even better value for a penny.

As an addition, ...'working for Sainsburys' is a very odd benchmark with which to promote and judge the funness of Lolly's website; lot's of things are more fun than working for Sainsburys, not working for Sainsburys for instance!

Anyway, I digress, in my earlier haste to point out the obvious spelling mistake I completely missed the other one. I believe have now fixed the two mistakes in the banner...

If we're being pernickity about it.......there should be a comma after the 'well' and an apostrophe before the final 's' in Sainsbury's

Its strange, but Sainsbury's uses the apostrophe in its name, but Morrisons does not.
They are part owned by the Sainsbury and Morrison families respectively.

Maybe Morrisons is plural? Morrison & Sons doesn't trip off the tongue, so they just lumped the whole family into the name.

I side-step the whole arguement entirely by using "The Big Shop" when referring to supermarkets. It can be used thus:

I am going to The Big Shop.

I am going to do The Big Shop.

I got the bleach when I did The Big Shop.

I just arrived home after doing The Big Shop.

I just got here from The Big Shop.

Verb? Noun? Who gives a toss when we have colloquialisms?! (Though it's a bastard to spell!)
