Spot the error

As I've been home a lot lately, I've been watching daytime telly and been targeted by the advertisers there. Seemingly, they are more interested in having my cash than in proofing their own adverts.

For a while I've been watching one of those no-win no-fee compensation company adverts and wondering what was wrong with it. The guy reading the script relates how:

"There were a load of kids at the bus stop. I had slowed down but maybe he couldn't see em. He just backed out..."

Now, I may be wrong, but surely the actor reading the script was meant to say:

"There were a load of kids at the bus stop. I had slowed down but maybe he couldn't see me. He just backed out..."

No-one noticed a typo in the script, do you think...!

Finally Ultralase, a company which specialises in laser eye surgery. The lady doing the voiceover clearly mentions Irish recognition technology. Read that again.

Here's the ad... the sound is a small bit muffled, but on TV it's Irish recognition technology all the way. Could be useful for Immigration, I suppose.
