This morning in search of the address and opening times of the local waste dump I discovered just what the copy checkers of the City of cape Town’s website thought of it:
IS THIS A SERVICE? IT READS MORE AS A CITY POLICY. IN WHAT WAY DO THE LIST BELOW CONSTITUTE A SERVICE TO THE RESIDENT/BUSINESS/INVESTOR OF CAPE TOWN. I WOULD PREFER TO MOVE THIS TO POLICIES. I WOULD ALSO PREFER TO REWRITE IT SO ITS MEANING IS CLEAR TO THE ORDINARY VISITOR TO THE SITE.
There’s more, but thanks to the way it’s laid out I can’t read it properly without digging in the source and besides, it’s in “fuchsia” which offends my sensibilities.

My bad, I was viewing it in Safari. Clearly it was meant for viewing in Internet Explorer:
Someone needs to go explain to whoever is responsible for publishing this stuff onto the site how to remove the reviewers comments. I tried but their feedback page doesn’t let you do that. You can view it in it’s full glory for yourself here.

It’s sad, but I’m now trolling the site looking for more. Like this:
“Replace table with new table sent by Zollie. Include details as per other facilities listed below. I DON’T HAVE THIS TABLE – WAS NOT SENT TO ME – YOSHI, DO YOU HAVE IT?”
LOL!
I don’t know what is more disturbing… the fact that its there… or the fact that its all written in CAPS.
I vote CAPS.
I just visited the site and it’s fixed. Not sure when it was…
