Does nobody check the spelling of public signs? Bognor is a seaside coastal resort located within West Sussex in the South of England and one of the oldest recorded Saxon place names in Sussex. In a document of 680AD it is referred to as Bucgan.

King George V so enjoyed the place that he gave Bognor the Title "Regis," Latin, (of the king.) On July 26th 1929 the "Regis" accolade was bestowed on Bognor.

How someone got the spelling wrong beggars belief.

I'm trying to imagine the pitch to potential investors for these products. I can't stop laughing!

As to Tony's remark on low-cost alternatives, back, oh, 50 years or so ago, before flat screen TVs and remote controls, I used to watch the commercials. I do remember a product called "Nair", pitched to women who wanted hairless legs without shaving.
