      However when you consider that the actual making of the sign would have been contracted out, so gone past more than one person, one does wonder whether no-one saw the mistook, or if perhaps the signmakers decided to leave the Met's poor spelling for all to enjoy...
      My instant reaction was, well I'm buglered!

          Wish I'd taken a picture of this notice on a Somerset church notice board:-
