They have a habit of passing the buck those print companies - usually in the small print it will say it's the customers responsibility to check the proof for mistakes pre-print. Seems they didn't have a veg grower or eater approve it lol.Location: SE Wales about 1250ft up

Humbug!Originally posted by mothhawk View PostA lot of print companies don't seem to proof read any more.

(Note: I did not say "for free" as this is grammatically incorrect as "free" is an adjective, thus cannot be preceded by a preposition like "for")
