Poundland apologises after spelling Christmas decorations wrong amid festive backlash from customers

Dec 17, 2014

Everyone likes a bargain, but not even the thriftiest shopper could justify forking out for these items

Poundland have wished customers a Merry Shristmas - or should that be Msrrh Cyristmas?

No, we haven’t been at the Christmas booze early: these greetings were among several spelt incorrectly on decorations sold by the discount store.

People took to Twitter to point out the hilarious typos, with @SarahJaneTemple writing "top quality bunting" and @koalax scolding "You had one job!!!"

@ChippyQuinn tweeted "My mates lost it! What have you done to him Poundland....MerryWTF!"

Everyone likes a bargain - signs inside Poundland have been known to recommend customers grab a basket as 'you’re going to need it’ - but not even the thriftiest shopper could justify forking out a quid for these decorations.

A Poundland spokesperson told Mirror Online: “We are aware of a very small number of products from our extensive Christmas range with incorrect spelling.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and are inviting customers to return the relevant product for a refund or to exchange it for one of the many other amazing value items available at Poundland this Christmas.”

It has covered all the angles, which brings us to another brilliant typo on an Xmas card sold in the shop:

Sadly we've been here before - the chain suffered similar problems last year.
