Lol.

For those who may be wondering, Woolies aka Woolworths is a supermarket chain who bought out what was once a electronics hobbyist chain called Dick Smith Electronics.

    I still remember the "The Electronic Dick" signs on the side of his delivery vans!

      I ran a small newspaper in Dover, DE (United States), about 10 years ago. It was called "The Clipper."

      One of my customers bought a full page ad on the back cover. It was for one of those automobile auction places.

      Part of the full page ad was supposed to say "Public Auction".

      But in my rush to meet my printing deadline, I accidently typed "Pubic Auction".

      This typo went into 25000 copies of the paper and was distributed through out 400 locations in Delaware for all to see.

      OOPs!
