Maybe it’s a ban on singing that song?

“Seven hundredth verse, same as the first!”

I am surprised that British people would miss a T. What is the Queen’s plan to address this balderdash?

I’m reminded of a favourite story from a kids book, wherein Paddington Bear attempts to make use of the cost savings at Alf Price Tours, but Mr Price thinks he’s taking the piss. Hilarity ensues.

99.9% of funny road marking misspellings on the Internet are fake shoops. This one looks legit, though!

Keep calm and arry on.

Aren’t they still misspelling it? I thought it was 'Enery, with three syllabubs.

Came for this. However, the the original was Murray and Weston, not Peter “Herman” Noone. Here’s what claims to be the first recording.

(I once went to a Peter Noone concert where the warmup act was Eric Burdon. Noone was great, he does hilarious impressions of other singers. Burdon was a little, umm, under the weather, as he was wont to be.)
