Keer Cleap

Council workmen have been left red-faced after mixing up their letters on a 'Keep Clear' road marking by spelling it 'Keer Cleap'.

Embarrassed officials from Hertfordshire Highways were forced to switch the 'P'and 'R' around after residents on Garden Walk in Royston spotted the blunder.

Plumber Paul Brett, 39, was the first to notice the mistake - despite the fact he is dyslexic and struggles with spelling.



He said: 'It's quite amusing because I suffer from dyslexia and spotted it before my wife Denise did.'

Mother-of-two Denise, 37, an administrator, said the 2ft high and 5ft wide road markings directly outside their house had kept the whole family entertained. She said: 'They must have been quite embarrassed by the whole thing.

'My husband, who is not the greatest speller, noticed the mistake yesterday and we are still chuckling about it.'
