Shameless repost from ratskep
BREWERY bosses were left red faced when their iconic lighted sign was turned into a profanity.
Some of the Thwaites Brewery letters atop the Blackburn building fell into darkness as people left town centre shops and offices last night.
With just the letters H, I and E blacked out, the embarrassing message was broadcast to the entire town.
It comes after news this week that the brewery is to axe up to 60 jobs.
However it is unclear if there was any link between the redundancy announcements and the change to the sign...
A spokesman for Thwaites said that on being alerted the brewery turned the lights off and launched an investigation into what had happened.
He said: “When made aware of it, all the lights were immediately switched off. It’s not clear what happened, whether there was a fault or other problem but only a few people have access to that part of the building.”

Maybe they did, and this was the result. "Let's see, I bet we can make a word by turning off some of the letters!"

I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. I mean, it's right there staring everyone in the face. I'm sure some of them have been waiting years for an excuse.
