Post by DaveyTesco has issued an advert. for some Free-From (undesirable
"Free From Easter treats", which to me says that Easter with Tesco will
be free of any Easter Treats. Not quite what they meant, but it's what
they wrote.
Mistakes like that lead to chaos in engineering or computing.
My missis once caused confusion at a Screwfix counter over a
misunderstanding of similar sounding words. She grows and shows
vegetables and one of her fellow gardeners advised her on a technique to
grow Leeks from seedlings in sleeves and the more rigid pipe insulation of
adequate bore an easily obtained sleeve material so a click and collect
order was placed.
She was collecting the lengths and someone she knew happened to be behind
and enquired what he lagging was for “for the Leeks “ she said at which
point the assistant overhearing and trying to be helpful said “ excuse me
but this product isn’t any good for leaks. The Missis not being on the
same wavelength as the assistant she continued “Well I’ve been told by a
friend it works fine and he won prizes for his Leeks. At that point the
assistant just handed over the goods looking baffled.
