Stockmann's gaffes continue

Annikki and I went to Stockmann the other day as she had a gift coupon from her sister and she decided to buy a spring coat from there.

After we finished that, we had some grocery shopping. If you buy € 30 worth of groceries, one and a half hours parking charges of € 2, are refunded.



As we walked around, I saw some Findus vegetable bags in the freezer.

There was a sign showing that they were on special offer, except that the sign writer mixed his F's and W's! :-) (The inset shows the correct spelling!)

Gaffes in choise ingredients and and and

Yesterday, I visited the top Department Store in Oulu, known as Stockmann. They have a restaurant on the top floor called Vintti and they advertise their Finnish / English daily menu at different points all over the store.

I just thought this one to be interesting:



One would certainly hope that a leading department store would have the resources to employ competent English speakers.

But their "choise" seems to have beeen rather poor. I hope the "ingredients" in their dishes are better chosen "and and and...." :-)
