I came across this in the car park of a public house on the picturesque A57 'Snake Pass' route, which crosses the Peak District and connects the cities of Manchester and Sheffield.
It always amusis me when someone abusis spelling in such an obvious way, and yet the error still makes it onto public signs before anyone noticis. Needless to say, drinks were spilled here.

They could have just said "purchased here." Or maybe they were so sure how to spell premises!
"Abusis spelling." What a wonderful juxtaposition! :)
This looks like a tell-tale sign (pun intended) of someone trying to sound more intelligent than he or she actually is.
