You're Warned but Your Off
As if weaving in and out of dithering old ladies in a post-Christmas daze isn't already a hideous experience. I saw these for sale (sail?) in Marks and Spencer today. Literally teaching kids it's OK to aim for 50% in a spelling exam.
I can't even believe it.
How did this happen? There must have been several levels where this may have been noticed before the public got to see it. And I thought M&S was for 'posh people and all that'. Clearly not any more. Admittedly, these were probably made in China by some child who would love just one of these slippers as a home, so the fault isn't at the sweatshop - it's squarely with M&S.
I can't decide if getting it wrong on just one, instead of two makes me more angry or not. I mean, even if you did leave school with nothing more than a working knowledge of a Sky Plus remote, you can still see that the shapes are different - there's a different amount of letters and one of them has a gap with a little mark after the U. No excuse.
This isn't the first time M&S have been so shocking:

Details a T-Shirt sold where the slogan reads 'Mum's dreaming of a quiet Christmas just like the one's she used to know'. Brilliant.
Secondly, there's:

Here M&S have a pyjama top with two giraffes on it with the words 'Baby Giraffe's'.
I can live with "MOT's", and "Banana's half price, passed there sail bye date", but not this!
I can't even believe it.
