Brits baffled as bumbling council workers make embarrassing mistake on bus stop sign – can you spot the error?

BRITS have been left scratching their heads after council workers made a howling error on a bus stop sign.

Lancashire County Council erected the misspelt bus stop sign outside Lancaster Royal Grammar School.

Officials from the council owned up to the “schoolboy error” after passers-by noticed a spelling mistake in the school’s name.

Instead of ‘Grammar’ workers had spelled it ‘Grammer’.

The school’s head teacher Chris Pyle told local radio: "The new sign has definitely brought some laughter.

"Teachers are used to correcting spelling mistakes, and both pupils and teachers have enjoyed seeing this real-world example on our doorstep."

A spokesperson for Lancashire County Council said: "The irony of this unfortunate spelling error is not lost on the county council.

"Thank you to Lancaster Royal Grammar School head Dr Chris Pyle for bringing this to our attention.

"This schoolboy error does certainly not meet Lancaster Grammar's exceptionally high standards.

"Rest assured, we will correct this mistake and replace the bus stop plates over the coming days.

"We're glad people have been able to see the funny side and would like to reassure everyone that we will try harder in the future."

In other news, motorists were left baffled by a homemade warning sign on the side of a road.

An official road sign can be see on the side of the A6 between the villages of Whaley Bridge, High Peak and Furness Vale - but a second mysterious post has been catching the eyes of locals.

An irate woman has also revealed how she towed her neighbour's cars away after she begged them to stop blocking their driveway.

The woman explained her neighbours are a large family who own five to six cars between them - regularly leaving them parked across her driveway.
