Please use the Thong’s
This is at Twin Cities Supermarket in New Jersey. There was a pair of tongs nearby but I’m a little scared of what I’m being directed to do with the rolls here.
Jodie: I’ve researched this, and found out that the “Thong’s Thank You” is a little-known technique of warming store-bought bakery rolls by stuffing them down your pants. This must be what the sticker is referring to.

Sir Benedict’s: The Brew’s Are Fantastic; the Grammar’s is Not.
Awning outside of one of my favorite restaurants in Duluth, MN. It’s an English place so you’d think they’d have the language down.
Your/You’re Confusion: Tesco Cake
Seen in a Tesco supermarket store in Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. I alerted the manager, who looked confused about the nature of my complaint. I gave up, but notice that a year or so later it has now been corrected.

In the Daily Mail – not something I read for its intellectual writing, more for the angry comments as they make me feel so very liberal and good about myself.
Your/You’re Confusion: On Camera
In the window of a fancy flower shop in Leeds. It winds me up every time I walk past.
May I use your toilet, Stall?

Moo’s, Baa’s, Ooh’s and aagghhs!
Printed in the Weekly Times on a front page of a liftout for the Royal Melbourne Show. Why isn’t it aaggh’s?
