A Rover 75 sign / panel to be (hanged) hung

I've just received a rather nice sign to hang on the wall of my garage.
In case some might be interested, you may go to

I should add that I haven't got any share at all in the firm, in case some may reckon.

... For committing a heinous crime?








FYI 'to be hanged...' is a death sentence '... by the neck until dead'


You mean to be hung: i.e. you will hang it then it will have been hung.


In the death sentence meaning - 'He will hang', then 'He will have been hanged' (not hung).


Meaningless pedantry on the meaning and definition and common usage of words maybe.




Nice sign to be hung btw....:getmecoat:

Hung, hanged or hoisted by its own petard, it doesn't really matter to me as I can't see it. The description says 'mature content' and my comp won't let me in.

Thank you @Avulon. I've written it too fast but I was used to this word "hanged" as I'm a kind of C17 & C18 historian - sometimes writing in a British history society magazine. That's why I didn't realize my silly mistake :duh:. Lots of chaps here may have chuckled to themselves... :p:

Well, it is quite old I suppose. I take the view it means 'Immature and Contentious'!
