He said: "I thought something didn't look right so I looked again and just started laughing to myself and had to take a picture of it in case it gets fixed before anyone else gets chance to grab a photo.

Mike Smith is from Jordan & Cook, which is the managing agents for Cricketers Parade, including the car park.

He said that the line repainting was finished at the weekend, and the mistake was spotted yesterday morning.

A colleague contacted the contractors, who apologised for the mistake and said they would burn off the 'ey' and replace it with 'y' as soon as possible.
