Blue ink didn't photocopy as well.

It said BLANK ink

And leaflets that say 'If you require this leaflet in another language, or braille, just ask'

If you can't read it, how would you know?

Pretend that English is not your first language. You can just about understand the written word but you would be more comfortable if it was written in your mother tongue.

''Remove child before washing'

There's a story behind every warning......

When I was at Newcastle hostel they'd obviously had a visit from a tedious Health & Safety inspector. The whole kitchen was covered in droll notices like the one over the kettle:
"Parents are warned not to pour boiling water over their children, as it damages them"

I saw this one again the other day...
A laundry tag that read (among the ususal stuff like wash at 30 etc)...
''Remove child before washing'

In what world could you extrapolate that possibility What idiot sat there thinking of risk and response came up with that one....30 years ago, you'd have been roasted by your boss for being so dumb.

A world in which people with a wacky sense of humour put up signs like this...?

As a purveyor of imported goods. I can confirm that the item of clothing was manufactured in the far east.

Cadbury's recently reworked their ''pint and a half'' slogan for ''there's a glass and a half in everyone.'' So, are they saying that each one of us is walking around with one and a half glasses in themself? Is it some kind of pub brawl?

Did they ever have a slogan of pint and a half? I know of "glass and a half", but not a pint.

I think so, back in the 60s. I'm not certain though. It definitely was ''every one,'' not ''everyone.''

This.
Who was the target audience? Someone in the UK who can read English but is unfamiliar with the concept of cheese?

No one has yet to mention the warning on packets of peanuts…,

Isn't that what a lovable tubby guy with a lilting southern Irish brogue in a white van promises you?

Email can be text only, or rtf, or html, the latter includes images layout etc. If your email client can only handle text then you won’t see the html content. Hence the link to view the email in the browser and see the full html content of the email.

No, I was making the language point that the lazy wording might have meant the second but might not work for the reader but email is the whole thing not the second part hence of you can't read the email you won't see the warning part.

I was kind of not looking at technical aspects only wording. Stupidity is in the strict wording I reckon. Can't read email due to a non technical reason so you can't find out you can't read part of the email due to technical IT reasons.

If that makes sense, does to me but I'm like everyone else in my own mind making sense.
