Check out the photo of a pair of pink booties we received at one of our shops last week. What should have been Angel has been spelled as Angle. The misspelling gave me a smile. Sure, QA processes for the Australian supplier ought to have picked it up but, hey, nobody is perfect in spelling – least of all me.
Excuse the indulgence … the misspelling reminded me of a guy I used to serve petrol to when I worked at the BP petrol station in Pakenham in the 1970s. Everyone called him angles. I found out, after a while, that he earned this name by misspelling Hells Angels on a home-made t-shirt.
The booties will be replaced but we’ll remember them and share a joke from time to time about little angles.
In Papua New Guinea when I was there over 30 years ago the local cake shop had “Mary Xmas” cakes.
I enjoy Newsagent websites where “stationery” is spelled “stationary” –
but I’m just quirky
