OT: New product at Tesco's ?

[Davey]

There was a display in our Tesco's yesterday for: "Steak and Ale Pie, Hot Shot Hot Dog, and Chicken Tackle Masala." Does nobody proofread these things?

Proofread by the Facebook generation

[Davey]

Ye gods! It's deliberate! How sad.

[R D S]

What's the problem with these two?

[John Stockton]

The second seems not to be on their Web Site.

And the "'s" is bad, though common, grammar.

Very few people can read these days and even fewer can write, and of those almost none can write correct English. And one on a hundred can Do Sums, if that.

Tesco's what? Your own posting may require proofreading.

[Richard]

Could have intended "Tesco's local supermarket".

[Scott]

I appreciate that, but this is not what he said when criticising others' written style.

Capons are castrated cockerels - so it's possibly an example of putting the 'leftovers' to good use.

What's wrong with chicken balls? It's on most Chinese takeaway menus in the sweet and sour section.
