Illiteracy @ Tesco!

Well, I have this thing about the correct use of the apostrophe. But this is something I never think I would see: Tescos have apparently employed a bunch of illiterate lunatics to promote their stupid "green" campaign.

So stupid are they that not only was this sign submitted for publishing, but that it also got past the crack "advertising and communications" team. They must be on crack.



I must have a wander around to the fruit and vegetables section next time I'm in. I may need to pick up some apple's, banana's and other fruit's.

Speaks volumes! The UK No1 retailer employs illiterates!

With illiteracy we also have a lack of an education. I worked on the helpline of everyone's favorite mobile phone service (no, I am not telling...). I have a very distinct accent, it's Zimbabwean...

I answered a call. "Hello, how can I help this evening?"

Caller: "What a beautiful accent! Where's it from?"

Me: "Er.. Zimbabwe."

Caller (sounding really disappointed): "Really? I would have thought it would have been from somewhere in Africa!"

There's always one!

Take care.

Thanks for your comments. I used to work with a chap from Zimbabwe and the stories he came up with was amazing. Zimbabwe is a country with such unsurpassed beauty and compassion, the level of which is only matched by the brutal viciousness of the Mugabe regime. I feel utterly ashamed for my nation in having absolutely no backbone to stand up to this monster.

I concur. The beauty in Zimbabwe has to be seen to be believed. Chonhoyi Caves, Kariba Dam, Victoria Falls, the Matusadona, the Chimanimani, Zimbabwe Ruins - just to name a few...

And I agree that one man and his stalwart supporters are totally and utterly responsible for the demise of a wonderful, beautiful nation.

And that goes for the people as well. The huge majority of people in Zimbabwe are good, wholsesome people with nothing more on their minds than looking after their families, a secure job and a few bucks at the end of the month...

Offer them the option to rewind the clock 30 to 35 years and I think that you will be surprised how many Zimbabweans will sign up to that trip!

Take care.
