I wish. That's stunningly good compared to most of the illiterate garbage published by large institutions in England.

Agreed. I remember being in a bank in Scotland one day, lookiing at one of its posters and, when it was my turn at the cashier's window, telling her of my objections to the wording. She looked at me blankly.
Can't think of them now, but there are indeed many bloopers in advertising Engish. I also see them quite often on those straplines beneath tv news items... as bad, those lines often hide the very thing the tv film is trying to present! I'm not a fan, but watching golf results is often an example: you seldom catch the little white thing vanishing into the hole: it just goes behind the strapline.
I think those devices (straplines) are actually designed to hide cleavage: part of the political correctness thing, destroying my simple pleasures as well as defeating the kind efforts of those women who do their best with what they have.
Bah!
