I bought the Observer recently and quickly realised why I stopped having it delivered years ago -and the price is in the stratosphere -more expensive than the Sunday Times and crap too.

Not so much a useless description, more a useless statement ...
'The anticipated despatch date for your order is the week ending 09/05/17'
Given that that is today's date and it's not the end of the week, does that mean they're despatching it today or in two days time? (I'm guessing and expecting, despatch will be on Friday 11 May  ).

[Well, that was a good result. I phoned the company to clarify whether that means they went out on the ninth or that they are scheduled to go out on the twelfth ~ and they apologise for the confusion, confirm that the dispatch date was set for 12 May ... but that they'll now get them out today as way of an apology for the confusion
It's a pair of boots purchased to replace a pair I've worn almost day in, day out for more than four years ~ until I noticed the leather had gone over I was going to pay them the £40 for them to resole the originals]

On a bag of cat food
"You could see a visible difference in just three weeks. If you don't see a visible difference in 3 weeks we'll give you your money back"
It doesn't specify whether this is a visible difference to the is cat or something else, or indeed if consumption of the product is a prerequisite for a claim. And how does it account for blind people?

You shouldn't feed blind people cat food.
It's a rotten trick.

[Then I shall not mention having spotted cat soup ~ well, more correctly, soup intended to be consumed by cats ... not soup made from cats ]

["Dog meat" is always a bit of an oddity too! I believe this sort of thing really messes with the translation into Far Eastern languages in particular!]
