    yeah – funny thing was you know that feeling when you just finished a job and you know somethings not right, after checking i had the clips tightened and everything else – then the penny dropped !!! 😳 😳

    i had a hour tho drive to the workshop, cut new vinyl and re-apply before the client drove past 😳 😳

    lesson learnt guys – always check your work before you send it out

    enjoy anyway

    I’m with Lynn on that red outline, but ya gotta love that Alf Becker-style Voodoo script.
    I would have never noticed the typo tho.
    Looks like you’ve been a busy bee!
    It was nice to meet you at SignUK too.
    Love….Jill

    Roy – you should’ve told your client that "recption" was the commonly accepted abrieviated version of "reception" (made popular by the use of text messaging). Explain that Scientists have proven that no-one actually reads the sign anyway and the message is fully conveyed in its abrieviated format. This has also allowed you to make the lettering bigger given that the length of the panel effectively dictates the height of lettering you can use for a word with a fixed number of letters (let us say "X") , whereas "X-1" is a shorter word and makes for a letter height equal to (x)/(x-1).

    That usually foxes them 😕
