'Bee wear' Simeon

Written by  Milking It
'Bee wear' Simeon

OPINION: A keen pair of eyes wandering down the main street of the hub of the Horowhenua, Levin recently came across a 'pop up shop' designed to show locals the new toll road bypass from Otaki and past Levin.

Being a tad curious, the mutt started to read that signage in the windows which has apparently been there for several months.

Great idea, but pity about the spelling - NZTA or waka whatever it is, states that work is due to STARRT in 2025. It seems that despite having colony of comms people in NZTA, none can use spell check or proofread.

Maybe the Minister responsible, Simeon Brown needs to get his CEO to employ an official spell checker or we could see signs in the future that read "bee wear - rode wirks a head".
