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.
