It is sometimes the biggest spelling mistakes that go by the wayside. More than 10,000 plates, tea sets and other mugs were printed with the words “Platinum Jubbly” instead of “Platinum Jubilee”.
Since the products could not find a buyer due to this translation error, the company decided to go through a wholesale resale site. (Wholesale Clearance) to offer them for sale at a reduced price. The entire batch of 10,000 items is thus offered for the sum of 32,400 pounds (about 38,850 euros, almost ten times less than its original price).

An unmatched reign
Playing the humor card, resale site manager Karl Baxter told the BBC: “Whacould be more unique than our evil crockery printed?»
On the site, the situation is detailed: “The Manufacturers produced some wonderful memorabilia to take part in the Queen’s forthcoming Platinum Jubilee, but were left stranded when their partner in the UK decided not to take the memorabilia stock, due to A translation error. That’s when Wholesale Clearance intervened to dispose of the stock. But when he arrived at southampton it A few weeks ago it became apparent upon inspection that there was a slight printing/translation error.»
As a reminder, the jubilee of platinum will celebrate the 70 years of reign of Elizabeth II, who became queen on February 6, 1952 on the death of her father King George VI.
