Lidl Product Instructions

OH has just bought a Silvercrest Nutrition Mixer from Lidl. The instruction book is multilingual, and obviously the English part has been translated, rather than written by someone whose first language is English.
An example
"The cross blade attachment is suitable for stirring mouses"
Surely anyone who is paid to be a translator should know that the plural of "mouse" is "mice"!

Strangely that is what I thought 1.3 secs after first reading the sentence in the instruction bookIf you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
Some kit these days just has picture guides and no writing at all. Solves all those translation problems at a stroke. Sadly the pictures can be even more confusing and less amusing than the comedy Chinese translations.0

I once bought a Christmas decoration tinsel chain with instructions which stated...
"To get better looking, twist a lot"
Well, I twisted a lot and not only did I not get any better looking, I also strained my back.
"I may be many things but not being indiscreet isn't one of them"0 -
