Excruciating English

Missive received from a bod in finance saying "we dont reimburse more than £55 per night unless there are excrutiating circumstances".

Hi, popped in here from a Blue Cat link, drawn by the Cornwall reference. I discovered much of interest and amusement, not to mentioned shared interests as listed in your profile. Loved this entry, why don't I ever find things like that? Well, I did once see an ad for a job in a surf shop citing "good rates of pay and fiendly working atmosphere."
