Uses Americanisms but also uses old English measurements ? FEET? .

So must be of the pre decimal era.

Further education Evening Classes?


? They were still arguing a mile down the road, where they reached the turnoff that went north to Heber? .

This thread prompted me to look on the web for bad writing awards and I found a perfect website: http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/2012win.html How's this for dreadful (the winning phrase):


Winner 2012


As he told her that he loved her she gazed into his eyes, wondering, as she noted the infestation of eyelash mites, the tiny deodicids burrowing into his follicles to eat the greasy sebum therein, each female laying up to 25 eggs in a single follicle, causing inflammation, whether the eyes are truly the windows of the soul; and, if so, his soul needed regrouting. ? Cathy Bryant, Manchester, England

The winner of the 2012 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest is Cathy Bryant of Manchester, England.

In case anybody thinks that has anything to do with how I came to be looking at the website, heaven forbid, it was because I came across this quote:


?All I ask is for an objective consideration of all the evidence. Anyone who won't do that isn?t really entitled to an opinion.? ? Travis Walton


I thought it was an excellent quote, and I'd never heard of Travis Walton, so I googled him. Now I sort of wish I hadn't :))


And the writing is so extraordinarily bad that I can't even read enough of it to find out what his supposed evidence is :))

ETA: Voyageur, I haven't looked at the website you mentioned yet but surely, surely, surely that winning entry was deliberately written to be bad?

    • Just astonishing - how do they do it? Well done for being so on the ball. 
    • Shocking - so fast. Machines can have a false device for inserting your card into and then they retain it. Your bank should return your money 
    • FYI East Dulwich neighbours: I was in the middle of a cash withdrawl at the cashpoint at the Tesco Express on ED road (the one next to the Esso petrol station) when a man appeared beside me waving his hands over the screen and saying not to use it because it had just taken his card. He then dissapeared and I cancelled the withdrawl. No card was returned. It took me literally 30 seconds (max) to realise something wasn't right and 'freeze' the card on my mobile/banking app. I immediately got a txt message from my bank saying a transaction had just been declined, and then another. I logged in to app and £251 had already been taken. This all happened increadibly quickly - the whole incident from first encounter to money being taken and me freezing card was probably around 3 minutes. The guy must have somehow seen me put my PIN number in. It's possible there was some kind of card skmming involved, but I don't know for sure. The man was around 5ft 6/7, black and wearing a covid-type face mask. I don't remember what clothes he was wearing. I got the feeling (mainly from his voice and eyes) that he wasn't young - maybe mid-30s to mid-40s (but I can't be sure). Obviously I repoted to police. 
    • It would be incredible if the community supported small businesses rather than a chain (Gail's being a very large chain).   Sadly, consumers don't realise their power - as you can see also by the number of coffee cups etc that are still being bought and contribute to landfill - it' not hard to be responsible, just inconvenient.
