Jane Eyer banner raises chuckles

What would Charlotte Bronte make of this spelling howler on display in a Shropshire town?

That is the question being asked in Ellesmere where cinemagoers are being invited to watch a screening of Jane Eyer, but not Jane Eyre, as the classic novellist intended her famous heroine to be known.

Officials at the town hall today said contractors in Stoke-on-Trent had supplied the rogue banner, adding it had raised 'a few chuckles' among visitors and passers-by.

The gaffe was spotted by an eagle-eyed Shropshire Star reader yesterday.
