There is an advert for Adrian Flux insurance on the top right of my screen. (Your experience may vary...) They have mis-spelled 'classic'. Won't be using them any time soon.

I am not sure that there is any proven link between spelling mistakes in advertisements and the service provided by the people who advertise. Richard Branson is dyslexic, by his own admission, and seems to have a good business, overall.

Mi M-i-L was a customer and died in January.

We cancelled her phone/TV Package
They wrote to her on cancellation
They sent the refund cheque in her name
They sent a questionnaire

"WHY DID YOU LEAVE US..............?

Poor quality admin.

Wow, I never knew that. Virgin ads have spelling mistakes and Branson actually writes them himself!

Hyphenated or unhyphenated/un-hyphenated are both acceptable, depending on which dictionary is consulted as is misspelt!

Adrian Flux is the firm linked to that dreadful programme on Channel 5 isn't it?
I think we have realised they obviously know nothing about 'clasics' or classics.
