on a bottle of blueberry-flavoured tea, obviously made on the wee isle:
REAL BREWED WITH TEA LEAVES...... BLUEBERRY FLAVOUR ADDED
this is wee island pidgin at its most embarrasin finest. especially so when this particular brand of drinks is exported blue marble-wide.
what i cannot get me head around is the well-known fact that english is the official working language here where almost 95% of the population are touted to be "fluent" at it. and having to pass it at 'O' levels - as first language - before they could continue with the rest of their wasteful education.
that label thingy a sad example of how the standard of the language has been deteriorating over the past twenty years. ever since em lowest of the lowlife chav's were "forced" to go to school. and then encouraged to work outside their no-longer-existing traditional pig/fish/vegetable farms.
oh and i spotted that warning also. on a M&S biccy wrapper. and how i giggled.
as blahed by the letter b @ May 26, 2005 09:07 AMThat's not too bad an attempt for a second language. There are plenty of people in this country who couldn't manage that. Footballers immediately spring to mind.
Still, it's a little less obvious than something I saw on a packet of peanuts the other day:
'Warning - May contain nuts'.
Litigious societies, you gotta luv'em.
