A shopper has spotted a huge spelling blunder in B&M - on a mug labelled for 'Feburary babes'. Steph Sykes, 49, was shopping in the new B&M store in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, yesterday [2nd November] when she came across mugs with each name of the month printed on. Alongside the mugs for girls of January, June, May, and April, Steph was surprised when she found one for 'Feburary babes' - with February spelt incorrectly. Amused by her discovery, she quickly whipped out her phone and filmed the mistaken mug alongside all of the other correctly spelled months. Steph, who owns Steph's Sock Monkey Store, from Bridlington, East Yorkshire, said: "I wasn’t shopping for anything specific - it was a new store, so my neighbour and I went for a browse. "I just spotted the mug. It stood out to me because of the mistake. "As a small business owner, I just don’t get how it’s got into store. "How many people have seen it, before it’s been put on the shelf? Proof readers etc, and why didn’t they spot it when it was put out on display? "I make soft toys and personalised items and I double check everything before I post. "I understand mistakes can be overlooked when it’s just me, but lots of people will have seen that before it’s got to the shop floor." The range is available to buy in B&M stores across the country as well as on their website and each mug costs £3.50. B&M has been approached for comment.
