Title: Is it a FirstGroup thing?? Post by: thetrout on February 11, 2012, 00:14:38 I took this at Stevenage the other week whilst on an East Coast bash! It appears that First Capital Connect along with FGW do NOT proof read their posters!
When considering the seriousness this display poster is trying to put across, IMHO it looses all credibility and respect because of the typo in the last bottom caption........... :-X ::) Must be a FirstGroup thing...! Maybe we should send all the pictures we have to Tim o' Toole?! ;D :o ::) ** Edited to add ** I took the liberty of Twittering this to @FirstCC who as you can imagine, were far from impressed......... ::) *Runs Away* (https://p.twimg.com/AkLbHfOCAAABzq9.jpg) Title: Re: Is it a FirstGroup thing?? Post by: JayMac on February 11, 2012, 01:24:20 I had to read the poster a few times before spotting the typo. Did however spot a typo straightaway in thetrout's post. :P ;) ;D
Title: Re: Is it a FirstGroup thing?? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on February 11, 2012, 01:47:24 Ah, but thetrout's text has not been processed through all of the (no doubt expensive) editorial and compliance checks which (one would hope) that First Capital Connect poster would have had to pass before publication ... ::)

Well my brain at least. Lose/loose always stands out for me, but an is/it typo I missed. Twice. Title: Re: Is it a FirstGroup thing??
