but I would have thought that someone that makes signs would be perfect,
but alas it appears not,
South Hams District Council have managed to spell Whiteley
Avenue in Totnes, Devon, three different ways on four signs, all in the space
of a few yards,
locals of course have an advantage, of how to spell their road, they live there,
Brian Kelly, who lives in the road commented, “It’s bizarre. You’d think the
council would just be able to copy the old signs, but instead they came up with
not one but two different spellings, they told me they will be correcting the
mistake, but have to wait to buy a batch of new signs, because it’s cheaper.” A
spokesman for South Hams District Council said: “We apologise to the residents
of Whiteley Avenue for this error and we are ordering new signs to rectify this
problem.” and in case you want to know the correct spelling is Whiteley Avenue which of course comes up incorrect on most spell checkers.
