So what?

It's a house clearance van - it's not likely they would have been educated at Oxbridge, is it?

[Dr_Gonzo]

"No Job To Small" is quite a common sight around here.

The sign needs to be changed -

"Anything Go's - Rubbish Grammar".

Do they operate in Birmingham whaere the apostrophe has been outlawed? They could be in serious trouble.?

[mrmaggit]

Should be "Anything Goes".

That was a show starring Elaine Paige (and a song, of course - by Cole Porter).

Not a mistake but reminded me of a van I saw with "XXXXXXXXX waste removal - We guaratee you a rubbish experience".

[NiceCupOfTea]

There's a company in Croydon with vans that say "Curley Waste" on them. I always snigger - what kind of waste do they carry?

[whitechief]

A local window man has "He're comes ******** windows" on the front of the van and "They're goes ********* windows" on the back.

There used to be a takeaway near here that sold:

Pizza's
Chip's
Burger's
Kebab's
...and variou's other delight's!

However the best misspelling I have seen recently was a numberplate slogan:

No muff to tuff

Apart from the all-too-common 'tuff', the lack of the second 'o' in 'to'...

If you are getting things signwritten (such as shops/vans) you'd think that you would double check how it's spelt.

An apostrophe can be used to indicate a missing letter (as well as to indicate possession) so "Go's" is correct for "Goes".
It could also be argued that "Rubbish Removal's" is the abridged version of "Removal of Rubbish"
I am open to correction on both of these points.

You'd think wouldn't you. There is a tyre place in Park Royal in Ealing that advertises 'puncher' repair.

Perhaps that's an additional service and they give you an ice pack and an Elastoplast ?
