Restaurant commits punctuation blunder on advertising pamphlet
An Indian restaurant in London has been ridiculed for missing out on a small but crucial punctuation sign on its leaflet.
Social media users were left laughing out loud when a picture of a pamphlet for Anu’s Kitchen began to do the rounds on the Internet.
According to new reports, the leaflet was used on a takeaway delivery site ‘Foodhub’, and read: “Anus Kitchen is now available on foodhub.co.uk.”
The lack of apostrophe after Anu did not go unnoticed as it inadvertently changed the whole meaning of the word.
It led to merciless trolling of the Indian restaurant on social media. The picture was first shared on Facebook user Paul Brook, who wrote: “Why punctuation is important.”
It had since gathered hundreds of ‘likes’ and amused comments on the social media platform.

A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
