Tube Ads' Crappy Grammar

Ok, I was in London last Tuesday and was bemused at seeing several ads on the tube with really poor grammar.

One was for an IVF clinic that had a photo of a bonny wee bairn talking about its "parent's genes" - although it did in fact have two parents rather than one.

Then there was an advert - Gilette, I think - that asked, "Who would of thought..?" Well, who would have thought such a sophisticated brand could make such a tacky mistake?

Lastly, there was another error - by Nivea, I think - which I can sadly no longer recall. Yet by mentioning it you'll now have to live with the anti-climactic frustration of knowing you'll never know it. Hopefully you'll get over it in time.
