Is it really so hard to spell 'Bus' correctly?

Workmen have managed to misspell the word “bus” during roadworks.

“Bup stop” was painted on to the road surface in Bristol in large yellow lettering at the end of last week, causing, we assume, havoc across Bristol.

The mistake was made as part of road repairs which are likely to last up to four weeks in the Old Market area of the city centre.
