HARD SPELL

I work at Matalan – people are always saying the shop’s name wrong, are YOU guilty of it?

Even staff members are guilty of having slipped up

IT'S arguably one of the most popular high-street fashion stores.

But when it comes to its name, people are getting it wrong on a regular basis.

The Matalan TikTok page shared a of a store front, writing over the top: "Our name is Matalan but we also go by..."

The next slide then had "Mataland" written all over it.

"Special shout out to Matt & Alan too," they added in the caption.

And in the comments section, people admitted they have been guilty of using the wrong name in the past.
