Strictly come dancing to the shops
Evidently in the process of a complete personal transformation, I have found that I really enjoy the typos that appear in Adzooks ads. In Rhyl recently there was a dusky punk three piece suite for sale, next to an ad for a 6” snooker table (I wonder if the seller has ever seen This Is Spinal Tap?). Over on Teesside Adzooks was an ad for a flat that was a 5 min walt to buses and shops. Surely a 5 minute walk, for the no-nonsense and earnest among us. But maybe it was really meant that 5 minute Walts are off to the shops, heigh ho. Personally, I like to think the writer of the ad meant that it was a 5 minute waltz to the buses and shops. I rather like the image of people spinning around in a Viennese waltz as they go about their daily business, gracefully gliding through the streets and industrial estates of Teesside. After serious thought though, I guess it must make stairs quite tricky. Maybe a foxtrot would be more practical. Either way, now I find myself hoping there’ll be typos, even if I do change them back to the sensible. Too bad usability comes first.
