That could hardly be more full of b***** if it was an elastrator's waste bucket.

I suppose I'm disagreeable if I'm annoyed by slack, lazy, ignorant, innumerate journalism too?

Or the spelling of 'Spick and Span' on the shirts advertising the litter pick in honour or Her Majesty's 90th?

Or the caption suggesting that the error in the sign to "Madam Tussaud's" was the (forgivable) possessive apostrophe rather than the omitted 'e'.
