“If he’s still in there, he ‘aint happy..”
True to form illiterate police press release. IS asked, numpty – anyone is singular.
Sigh.
Six munce ago I coulnt evan spel the word ocifer but now i are one…
Adapted from an old RAAF joke about officer cadets.
No offence (pun intended, but that’s another joke altogether) against any constables…
Proofread people!
breda said :
Anyone in this case is referring to more than one person who may be able to assist. Therefore the ‘are’ is referring to a they (plural).
bigger sigh and roll my eyes.
Teal coloured?? What colour is Teal? And furthermore, at 11:15pm presumably in the dark, how does someone identify a car as being Teal coloured?
Anyone know what street it happened in?
