I had to find this out on Twitter? 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/22/asda-makes-basic-error-launching-isle-wight-store/
The problem was, I didn't know what this 'Asda' was that UK Twitter was shocked by. I gather now that it's a grocery store chain.
Shame on them. The horror. 
On the other hand, Bluebottle - grab one of the faulty bags. It could become a collector's item...

Asda is a supermarket chain with a bottom fetish that is now owned by Walmart. The store's long been a right pain as for the last year or two Asda have blocked the main road from Sandown & Shanklin to Newport in order to create 'traffic improvements' that will make it even more difficult to get from Sandown to Newport, as what the Island really needs is more pointless roundabouts, but possibly but probably not easier to get from Newport to Asda.
Alas it isn't the first time that mistake's been made, although at least the Premier Inn debacle had spelling errors nationwide:

Asda's name (ASsociated DAiries) is a throwback to when it was a dairy farm in Yorkshire. I think we can forgive them a few spelling mistakes, as anywhere outside of Yorkshire is clearly foreign.
