Illiterate Walk

An illiterate walk into Crawley - broken signs

We had a little walk into Crawley town to visit the Library (is that ironic? not sure) - without any real effort or detours we spotted the following examples of encoding errors or just plain idiocy.

Firstly, this is probably a character encoding issue, but why it didn't get checked before being printed in three-inch high letters, I really don't know.

Number two is just funny, but again, nobody actually checking the work (or perhaps it's just meant to be funny?).

Finally, we have a perfect greengrocers' apostrophe:

I know that my writing isn't perfect - please point and laugh at my mistakes whenever I make them.
