Free Champagne

**bigjjuk** · 23-Nov-06, 12:50

So lets go for a vote and see how many people will get injured bursting through the Tesco's doors on Monday morning to try and get their free champagne

Or how many people will get injured in the mad dash to be first at the till. {Warning take special care especially around old granny's}

Hope they have the overstreched ambulances on standby. Will go for 8

Guarantee the 'Dundee Streetfighter' will be the first there!

take special care especially around old granny's ....... Granny's what? or have you put in an apostrophe by mistake and got the plural wrong!

maybe the hole place will be empty come opening time, because everybody may have the same idea as me and don't go near the place for the first 2 week's,wouldn't that go down well

It makes me mad when I see people putting the apostrophe all over the place. Next time it is a punishment exercise for you - write out the word properly 1000 times!
There is a famous instance in Germany when the footballer Paul Lambert put a message on the big screen for the fans and inappropriately used the punctuation - the German crowd knew their English and they laughed and cheered.
Typos on messages and in e-mails everyone accepts but totally wrong use of the apostrophe is hard to take.

A butcher shop in Thurso advertises Curry's in the window - wonder if means curries or a product from the famous electrical shop.

"Mkaes me mad"

Cattach, is this what you will be writing out 1000 times?

Note I said typos were generally acceptable (unless, of course, you are a trained typist). Actually I note very frequent typos on caithness.org but do not complain.

I won't be visiting the new Tesco for a little while after it opens as it will be a nightmare!
Good job I don't like Champagne!! Wont miss out!
