Dear Mr Young,
Thank you for your e-mail of 26th April 2011 passing on Mr Titchener’s comments regarding two new bus stop signs that have been erected with the incorrect spelling of the two roads concerned.
As the manufacture and erection of bus stop signs are the responsibility of Transport for London (TfL) and I have informed our Group Planner for Transportation who liaises regularly with them so that the errors can be rectified as soon as possible.
Thank you for letting us know……
Yours sincerely
Executive Assistant
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to draw your attention to malappointed signage at a brace of omnibus stoppage points in your borough. The two bus stops concerned are Granard Road, misspelled as "Grandard Road", and Bolingbroke Grove, misspelled as "Boilingbroke Grove".
To have misspelled these names in the drafting of the signage may be regarded as a misfortune; to fail to notice the errors at the proofing stage, to commission the production of the nonsensical signs and then to erect them in situ looks like carelessness.
Perhaps the misappellation "Grandard" is a deliberate comment on our ageing population; if that is the case, why not lose the second r and illustrate the bus stop concerned with a photograph of Clive Dunn, who played Lance-Corporal Jack Jones in the popular TV series Dad's Army and recorded the novelty chart song Grandad?
One might assume that "Boilingbroke" is a reference to global warming; be that as it may, witnessing this sign has not improved my appreciation of planetary conservation, yet it has made me rather hot under the collar.
Please confirm that the relevant authority will rectify these problems as soon as possible,
Yours sincerely,
Mr P. D. Titchener (AutoCad qualified to Level 1, PowerPoint and Word),

His secretary,
