Cambridge University parking sign has spelling error

A sign at Cambridge University - home to many of Britain's more prestigious brains over the centuries - has prompted mirth over a simple misspelling.

The temporary sign for drivers heading to Sidney Sussex College directed them to the "collage" car park.



The sign was not installed by university staff, but by contractors employed by Anglian Water, during its month-long closure of a road to repair a broken sewage pipe, and read: "Entrance to collage car park only."

Cambridge resident Filippo Schiannini said: "Cambridge prides itself on its literary past so its very funny to see such a simple error emblazoned on such a famous college."
