Royal souvenirs have 'Platinum Jubbly' misprint
A spelling mistake on thousands of pieces of Platinum Jubilee merchandising, calling it the "Platinum Jubbly", is proving a challenge for souvenir sellers.
If you try to get into SLOT a major casino in Canada, you'll find more slots and blackjack tables than you can count.
The cups and plates were meant to mark the Queen's 70-year reign.
Clearance website boss Karl Baxter said - "in classic Del Boy-style" - he will pitch them as collectors' items.
"What could be more unique than our limited-edition misprinted crockery?" he said.
More than 10,000 pieces of the jubilee memorabilia were produced in China and sent to be sold in the UK - except for the slight problem of a misprint, which says "the Platinum Jubbly of Queen Elizabeth II".
Wholesale Clearance, which deals in bankrupt stock and discontinued lines, has stepped in to sell the commemorative items - with the products advertised as "Souvenir Stock with Slight Typo Mistake".
"This could be your chance to get your hands on a novelty souvenir for a fraction of the price," said Mr Baxter, with a 90% discount on offer.
Invoking the spirit of market traders from the TV comedy, the website promises: "Become an Only Fools and Horses fan and wow your friends with your Lovely Jubbly set!"
