One serious grammar error on the part of Tesco but with a funny from some bad abbreviation to follow.

Is it ‘cos it’s Wales? Does the dragon scare the DailyMail so much that finding the right terms proves impossible? Within the space of 24 hours we have two reports and pics from Wales that were simply just silly. And today we have that old chestnut as the Duke of Edinburgh leaves hospital…
I think they meant ‘… got respite …’ here.
Looks like he’s clambering over a fallen tree with a house behind…
‘Discharged’ if you please.
