OK, so I made that up. But it is a wee bit sad that our representative taxpayer-funded (to the tune of more than half a million pounds per day) organisation, which actually does very well out of Europe by being first in line for government contracts etc., should make such a balls-up of its spelling. And before you say it was a nice idea that went wrong, the idea is old hat. The formula what is missing ("UR", you are, geddit?) has been used by non-conformist churches for years, including one I used to regularly walk past in Cambridge.
So they copied an idea from CHURCH, got it wrong and made asses of themselves. Sound familiar?
