I've just been to the local shops to pick up a few groceries. As I walked past the local fruiterers, my attention was caught by a sign advertising "Lemingtons" for sale. Not having ever heard of a fruit or vegetable of this name, I moved closer and saw they were actually selling lamingtons, a well-known Australian favourite (don't bother asking me why a fruit shop was selling a bakery item, as I have no idea!).
Even though it was plain to see they were everyday lamingtons, I still couldn't quite bring myself to buy a pack - my initial reaction to the misspelling made me think they might taste like a lemon-flavoured, small, furry creature, likely to jump off my plate! I wonder how many other passers-by enjoyed a little chuckle at this today...

I'm surprised they just weren't jumping out of their packets and following people home.
