This ‘Proud to be British’ hoodie hasn’t quite nailed it.

Grammar pedants look away now because this might smart a little.

The hoodie for children by Diverse Commerce, which is currently on sale on Amazon for £29.99, is missing that vital apostrophe, rather undermining the point we think it’s trying to make.

While the brand does stock a wide range of joke T-shirts online, it’s unclear whether this is an error, a reflection on the declining state of our once great nation, or a late entry for this year’s best Halloween costume.


It has actually been available to purchase online for almost a year but was spotted yesterday by the Huffington Post and has since attracted some entertaining customer reviews.



There’s this from JD: ‘Grate for waring on foreign holidays so everyone nows your from Engerland and are better then them.’

This from Michael Haggart: ‘AS A PROUD NATIONALISTS WHO CAN ONLY TYPE IN ALL CAPS IM SO GLAD THAT FINALLY THERE IS A HOODIE THAT USES THE SAME KINDS OF SPELLING MISTAKES THAT I USE WHEN RANTING AT GROSS LEFTIES AND MUSLAMICS ON FACEBOOK.’

And this wry observation from Pete: ‘Finally, a product for people who love England but don’t love English.’

Snap one up for Halloween and terrify English language lovers everywhere.
