Glaring mistakes in published flyers

H&S is complete bonkers. Tying yourself off whilst on roof ladder? After 33 years I feel at home on one of those as I do on the ground.
I do not need some spotty H&S office bod to tell me what is dangerous or not. I ALREADY KNOW, THAT IS WHY I'M STILL ALIVE.
Sorry, but it's gone crazy.

We had a cracker about a year ago, new company had started up in the local area and was advertising their services, they were a drain maintenance-type company.
The flyer they sent out (I wish I'd kept it now, if I'm honest) was a picture of a badly bodged gutter, with a caption "DOES YOUR GUTTER LOOK LIKE THIS? SHOULD OF CALLED XXXXXX!!" [I forget their name]
There was another picture underneath it of a decent looking gutter, and it further went on to say "CALL US NOW ON XXXXX, YOUR NEVER GOING TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR GUTTERING AGAIN!"
The best part of the whole flyer was that the picture of the crap gutter was at the top of the flyer, and the picture of the decent one at the bottom. For reasons I'll never know, pretty much 40% of the decent gutter picture had all the sales bumph on it ("call Dave on xxxxx or pop in at xxxxx") so at a glance you'd see XXX DRAIN MAINTENANCE and a stty picture underneath

Excellent I'm not going mad!
There are a couple of houses in my street who's roofs are much brighter than the rest. They look jet washed but I assumed they have been replaced recently.
They have been jet washed. This type of crazy practice does happen!
Why on earth would you want your roof done? Must be some crazy OCD thing about cleaning.

I particularly liked the BNP leaflet that dropped through the door a couple of years ago before the last general election. The front was adorned with a picture of a mighty Spitfire, complete with "send the foreigners back" messages all over the place.
A quick Google of the squadron insignia of the Spitfire pictured revealed it was part of a Polish squadron during the Battle of Britain. Damn those foreigners who never do anything for Great Britain, eh?!

Most of the Indian takeaways around my town sell Korma with various meats, usually lamb or chicken. However, one of them appears to have misspelled it on their menu, calling it a "Kurma" instead. They must have been kicking themselves when they spotted that after printing 10,000 of them!
...
I much prefer reading Indian takeaway menus for their fanciful descriptions rather than their poor spelling and grammar. Though the tantalising description of a curry being "bassically not hot" usually has me on the phone to the local takeaway, who printed the menu with that glaring error and dashing turn of phrase. ...
No, I love the way they describe the curry they serve.
The delicate Bhuna: "briskly fry onions with peppers and rich spices to create a dry consistency".
The fiery vindaloo: "hot blend of rich tomatoes and spices with extra added chilli and curry".
The velvety Dansak: "bassically not hot, rich with pimentos and exotic spice to create a special curry".
They describe the curry so well but invariable you are given a foil carton wit a sloppy sauce as a few bits of chicken in it. Great!
