Madam, - Readers concerned about literacy and spelling might watch out for the various commercial vans with spelling errors. Recently I saw a van advertising bouncing castles for "Family Occasions, Communions and Conformations". Yesterday I saw a builder's van advertising "house extensions, patios and canapés".
No, I didn't get the chance to ask the driver if he was prepared to eat his words. - Yours, etc,
