Its a problem!
Seriously though, imagine what it's like for the manufacturer, trying to recruit someone to write and check the labels on supermarket food. The applicants who aspire to this job, the most challenging and worthwhile paid activity they feel qualified for...
Now, Cambrensis, reflecting on that, don't you feel you've been rather fortunate to have had life choices?
PS: The labels to watch out for are the ones good enough to send in to Radio 4's News Quiz!

This was not a label attached to the box. I'd quite understand had it been perpetrated at local level. This was actually printed on the carton together with the cooking instructions. I wonder if they should be renamed "cooking destructions"! The usual practice in everything from books to pamphlets is for the copy to be printed and then gone through with a fine tooth comb by the sub editor. However, of late there seems to have been a dearth of good "subbies".
As for the BBC: a few years ago, reading an article on Archaeological finds in the Aberystwyth area on a BBC web page, I found a reference to pottery having been discovered on a site, and that the pottery had come from the "the Malver Nills". I sent an email and correction was made. However, the point is that there was no effective sub-editng done.
There are many programmes about auctions on the BBC as you know. and many are repeats. I have heard one of their antiques experts say "You must of" (repeated) on several occasions. This could be edited out quite easily.
I could go on and on but shall not; I seem, quite unintentionally, to have hijacked this thread, for which I apologise.
Surely what you heard was "you must've", a simple elision that many of us use. The idea of programme repeats being edited, even if the snips were valid corrections... I'd prefer my licence fee to be used for better things, like sending David Attenborough around the world, not to employ kids with scissors.
No problem hijacking the thread. Gazza has fixed the typo, credit due. So the thread is free to unravel where'er it may.
