Thread Name: This week's best 'Typo'
Subject: RE: This week's best 'Typo'
Don't know about "this week's"; but we seem to have drifted a bit. So anyone else remember that display ad in Melody Maker a good while back now for a concert by Ewan MacColl and Percy Seeger?

As for schoolkid howlers: following guaranteed genuine from my own teaching days ~~

"All her friends loved her because she was so well-manured" [hint for perfume-manufacturers here?].

Frequent references to people "raped in blankets"; but only one which related that "the captain spent the whole night on the bride until relieved by the mate".

And [this one dateable] on Bobby Charlton, who "played for England in the World Cup. His brother Jackie also played in the WC."
