Children were given a lesson in how not to spell when council contractors bungled a painted road sign outside their Chester school.
The yellow sign outside Highfield Community Primary School, Blacon, near the Welsh border, was meant to read "clear" but instead said "claer".
"Claer" has no meaning in English or across the border in Wales.
The sign was wrongly painted on Tuesday and corrected at no cost to Cheshire West and Chester Council earlier.

Earlier than Tuesday?
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is
Re: Back to school, clear?
They corrected the mistake earlier than they made it. They must have a time machine.The sign was wrongly painted on Tuesday and corrected at no cost to Cheshire West and Chester Council earlier.

Sad thing is.... Gob meant to spell this thread title wrong.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

He sometimes has trouble with spelling so he didn't know how to misspell the word.
