CoH To Correct “Kerp Clear” Marking In Hamilton
The Corporation of Hamilton said they will be correcting the “Kerp Clear” road marking located on Front Street, and explained that what happened was an “oversight” as the “worker only had one ‘E’ stencil so he used the ‘R’ as a place-marker when laying out the word with the intent to re-use the ‘E’ after he painted the first.”
“We’re pleased to say this wasn’t a case of the works crew not knowing how to spell the word ‘keep’. Neither was it a prank where they spelled it in ‘Bermujian’! “What happened was a simple, yet rather conspicuous oversight,” a CoH spokesperson said.
“The worker only had one ‘E’ stencil so he used the ‘R’ as a place-marker when laying out the word with the intent to re-use the ‘E’ after he painted the first. It seems auto-pilot kicked in somewhere between the strategy and execution and the ‘R’ was painted in.
“The error is being corrected in the next day or two as soon as weather allows! Oops!”
Just leave it there with this brilliant story and let the public see what we’re up to.
Exactly. Reminds me of how we spelled “Goverment” on the backs of all the W&E trucks a few years back. Guess we are runnin’ a tad short on “E”s and “N”s. We seem to be good on “R”s though.
Maybee we jus’ makin’ dooo wiff what wee hav.
He obvosully went two Tank’s school of Anglish spellin nd gramma. When eye saw it eye new exacly wat it meant too say.

Wth? This must have been done by a PLP voter!
You mean a qlq voter?
Disgusting. Get out of here with that
What’s that supposed to mean? I often have to laugh at the poor grammar displayed by OBA voters, especially from people trying to be funny.
It was probably Onion Juice.
Henceforth and forever, his nickname should be KERP ! LOL !
KERP IT!!! As as lesson
In addition to the KERP, the yellow box was clearly not long enough for “CLEAR” .
And the R in CLEAR doesn’t appear to have made it into the yellow box…
Wow! What can one say!
***** **** has spelling mistakes all the time on social media….does he work for C.O.H.
Are your taxes working hard for you? Unacceptable boss!!
I fine and dandy with that but not fine and dandy when it comes to their TRASH TRUCK operating durning the busiest time of the morning and afternoons backing traffic up on front. Morons!!!
Yeah, who schedules trash pick-up on front street during rush hour? Seriously, any other time of the day will do
Yeah so irritating.
*street.
Looks like he got the boxes wrong too. kerp in the clear box and the clear in the kerp box . He needs auto correct in that spray gun
How u have one E and two Rs something doesnt make sense!?!?
A few Elephants for breakfast will do this !!!!!!
@ Cedar Stump” and two more fouR lunch E”
At least he didn’t then drive a ferry…
I would have been embarrassed to even give that explanation…just say, “it was an unfortunate error, soon to be corrected,” and leave it at that. Seems to me, before starting this (or any) project make sure all supplies (letters in this case,) were available and in order THEN start filling in. Oh for the old days…
they really play us for fools what a dump ass excuse, sorry ran out of b’s on my computer.
Someone had a little too much fun at the BIU ball I am guessing!!
If they were short of E then why not use the E in CLEAR? It was obviously a careless error. If another E was needed then leave space blank.
Same silly work at pedestrian crossing on Reid Street outside of Covenant House. Half painted in all black. Just cover the whole crossing in black. Geez.
to easy to spend so much on a dopy new flashy car park full of pot holes, than have some COMMON SENSE on spelling, the superintendent needs to do the high step for this, NO EXCUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You cannot spell either.
It behoves me to understand how this could happen while you have three other CoH employees standing watching while this poor sap does all the work. Reminds me of the great wall of Warwick.
A Bermuda classic.
Think I will KERP quiet on this one!
This area is on Front Street?
Looks like something that should bein an area where trash trucks rumble all day and heavy equipment.
What a mess.
No money for re-surfacing?
#YOU HAD 1 JOB
Attention all, he had 2 E’s he used the second E in clear instead of in keep smh
“The know how to spell” but… Not sure whic sounds worse… Can’t spell ir idiot??
Go check out the brand new curb at Winton Hill/Claytown area.
I saw Kid Rock in the area…on that day!
Kerp? is that one of the new pokemon?
All part of a “make work” program. How much time & effort will be needed to fix this?
Is this the same guy who painted the parking spaces to not take into account the need to open the car door to exit and enter a car?
KERP your enthusiasm folk, That’s KEEP in Bermudgon verbs.
A bigger No Parking Sign for Small Cars might help.
Let’s face it, that person can’t spell a simple 4 letter word, or colour within the given lines, so Ed Benevides say’s “S#!t, what can I say to cover up for this guy?” Hmmm, Ok, how about he only had one E for KEEP, but, he also had one E for CLEAR, so how many E’s is that? MORON’S that’s what happen when you haven’t any direction or supervision. Typical COH
Ermahgerd dats funny!
Ha Ha! Thanks for the laugh. Please keep it as it is!
Why paint on that patch-work crumbling surface? It needs to be repaired before it is painted. Kerp up the good work.
Not as bad as the dude with a huge tattoo down his arm reading “No Regerts”
You had 1 job…..
Should have used the F stencil
