British Gas Again

It seems no-one managed to find the howler on the British Gas advert.

So I'll just have to point it out.

See the three parachutes? The bottom one is titled Boiler and Central Heating, with a spanner. In the middle is Plumbing, with a plunger. At the top is Drains, with a Stilsons wrench.

Now would you fix a drain with a Stilsons wrench? Wouldn't you use a plunger to unblock it? And what would you use a Stilsons pipe wrench for, if not the pipes in your plumbing?

Get it, now?

British Gas Howler


The advertiser's don't always get it right, but I'm amazed someone let this one through. Can you see a glaring error in this flyer that came through our letterbox? My hubby pointed it out to me. 

Here's a clue. (Sorry it's not in full focus - you should still be able to see what I mean.)
