My main grumble about shop signs is the misplaced apostrophe - and it's not only on the home-made signs either. Look at the number of greengrocers selling "pea's and carrot's". - Pea's and carrot's what?

I love the instructions which have obviously been translated from another language and although the words may be English the sentences definitely aren't.
