And still more surreal..

" EGS SERVICES LTD is a cleaning company, employing mostly very liable Polish staff."

Liable for what? the breakages??? Any guesses what they were trying to say????

Makes sense, though it's that use of "mostly" that sets off my mental alarms. My first thought was that it was supposed to be "likable," but reliability is by far the more important virtue in a cleaner.

"Mostly" strikes me as a problem no matter what "liable" is a typo for.

I love the way this post has brought out the proof readers!

I think they probably mean

"...very reliable, mostly Polish, staff."
