Shop buys bad stock

It looks as if the term quality control went out of the window at supermarket chain Morrison’s when they ordered ABC building blocks intended to educate, stimulate and make learning fun, unfortunately some of the words appeared to have been lost in translation.

It is a classic mistake to make for example on brick with the letter U, the corresponding word was “Umberlla” while for Y there was a nice image of a boat with the word “Yatch” clearly it is an easy mistake to make at the factory in China as English is not their first language.

But surely the buyers or quality control at Morrison’s would have picked this up, unless of course they thought that was how those words were spelled in the first place, sounds like a case of “Could do better”.
