Workers misspell 'bus' on road markings

WORKMEN have given road users something to chuckle about by misspelling the word 'bus' during roadworks.

"Bup stop" was painted on to the road surface in Bristol in large yellow lettering at the end of last week, with the stencilled letter P used instead of S.

The mistake was made as part of road repairs which are likely to last up to four weeks in the Old Market area of the city centre.
