It Is Nice To Know It Is Just Not Me That Cannot Spell,

I have always had trouble with spelling,

at school I have lost count of the number of times I failed spelling test and been kept behind after school as punishment, but it appears I am not alone as bemused motorists in Shrewsbury, Shropshire found out as they drove past the closed Whelsh bridge, a yellow sign was put by the roadside to advise drivers that the town's Grade II listed Welsh Bridge was closed on Sunday for roadworks, but workers have been slammed after they erected the sign for a historic Welsh bridge - but misspelled it 'Whelsh',

Bill Ball, from the Queen's English Society, yesterday criticised the glaring blunder by National Grid workmen, branding it a 'sad reflection of modern standards in education', the mistake also sparked amused response among motorists and a flurry of comments on social media websites, commuter Claire Howell, 31, from Telford, said: 'I found it hilarious, you've got to be pretty dopey to make that sort of error, somebody needs to go back to school and take their GCSE English again, it's unbelievable',

a spokesperson for National Grid said: 'The typo was noticed by our workers upon arrival at the bridge on Sunday, however, we thought it would be better to put it up than not - so we could at least advise road users what was going on', I shudder to think what my English grammar master at school would make of it.
