lost in translation

Claire arrived bearing gifts: these wonderful London Tube map mugs.


Although it may seem crazy to bring Tube map mugs from a second hand shop in Vancouver to London, but these are no ordinary mugs. They are awash with spelling and punctuation errors.


South Kensington became Soutn Kensington, Toane Square became Toane Squane, Euston became Eustom, Holborn became Hclborn, and check out that comma in St. James' Park:



And our favourite: We to minstet for Westminster


There is a PhD project in these mugs somewhere.... or post-doc? Thanks Claire!
