Some, but not all, Baileys drink labels have a mark making them appear to read Baileys'.
I don't have an actual one to inspect, but it appears to me as if the splodge at top right is in fact registered trade mark tag, not an apostrophe.

"Baileys was introduced in 1974 as the first Irish cream on the market. The Baileys name was granted permission by John Chesterman after W&A Gilbey asked to use the name from a restaurant that John Chesterman owned. The fictional R.A. Bailey signature was inspired by the Bailey's Hotel in London,[7][8] though the registered trademark omits the apostrophe. "

My sister got this sent to her today. Scottish humour at its lowest. Could get folk in a panic though until they read it properly.

They are waiting for your reply Mr. Wittsend!
Is it suitable for a family forum  ???

Do you mind if they keep $185 and send you the remainder of the $10.5 mil ?
