Nobody likes making stupid errors, but the situation is even worse if you find it hard to undo your faux-pas.<\/p>\n
So imagine how road painters in the West Midlands felt when a blundering mistake was there for all to see in gigantic capital letters.<\/p>\n
They intended to paint the phrase Keep Clear across part of a road in Kingswinford, but instead somebody emblazoned the surface with the words Keep Claer.<\/p>\n
Luckily some people have seen the funny side of it all, such as 56-year-old Bill Chapman, who reckons a local resident could be responsible.<\/p>\n
"It did make me laugh when I saw it because if you say it in a Black Country accent that's pretty much how it is pronounced," he says.<\/p>\n
Dudley Council – which is led by Les Jones – commented on the situation, with cabinet member for transportation Patrick Harley saying they were aware of the mishap.<\/p>\n
He confirms the private contracting company will amend the phrase at no extra cost.<\/p>\n
