Tea anyone?
I bought an airplane in England last year. I've been repairing it in my spare time. Down between the floorboards, I found this:
Would anyone like to redeem it?

It's surely a forgery - they spelt "complimentary wrong!
But then again, many people do.

There's nothing funnier than a grammar wizard who gets it wrong. 
They spelled it perfectly.
What does amuse me though, is how a voucher for a cup of coffee can be valid for any other day than the day of landing.
If it was redeemed the day before I landed, then the coffee would be cold. If it was redeemed the day after I landed, then I'd never get to drink it.

That's kicked off the argument nicely....thought it might. It's not spelt (or spelled) wrongly.
But the intended meaning of vouchers like these (a free cuppa) is "With our compliments". i.e. you don't need to pay for it.

Perhaps it's designed to exclude sneaky people who thought of driving or walking to the airport.
I think it's worth keeping so that when you've completed your aircraft you can make a trip specially.

I know Welshpool is surrounded by hills (1,500' circuit) but I didn't realise they went up to 13,000'! I'm assuming the chart came with the voucher...

And I was so proud of my good English, ELP level 6 included - but I am learning by leaps and bounds on this fine nuance! My gratitude!
@ST: so you bought a plane in old Blighty, flew her home but damaged her so bad en route that you are still at the repairs? Seriously, though, what plane is it?
