Anyone F***offee?

In Corfe Road Bedford, there's a house with a plaque that says 'Far Corfe'. Classy, but then that is Bedford.

Do the road signs for Scunthorpe provoke similar outrage?

 

[outlash]

Quite. Optimistically you could say Bedford needs a little work done to it before you could even call it passable.

It's the Girls Girls Girls neon sign pointing upstairs that's got me confused. Can't they use the door like everybody else?

I don't really drink coffee so I'm not too fussed - it's a bit childish and they could have been more witty. But I'd say I'm more concerned by that Girls, Girls, Girls sign, as that does look offensive.

 

[marzjennings]

Oh how clever they used the word f* to mean for, while dragging up an old joke that was never funny. Plus they've found an old neon sign from strip club. Oh these witty hipsters.

I used to pass the Phat Phuc Noodle Bar just off Kings Road and I admit that one would make me smile.

Yes, the shop name's bland for Bermondsey yet the girls sign doesn't appear to have upset anyone.

Someone needs to open a coffee shop in Newcastle upon Tyne. That would be far more subtle.

I'm not an old prude - honest I'm not - but I don't like the gratuitous use of swearwords on shop signs / logos. It just seems a bit Nathan Barley.

Not big or clever.

But that isnt rude, it is just a silly pun, the coffee shop is being deliberately provocative.
I wouldnt take my kids in there, i am not their target market, so they dont care, but they do have a responibility to the local area to act with some respect.
There is a time and place to push boundaries and shock, but a coffee shop isnt it.
He could have called it" See You Next Tuesday". Much more subtle.

Northampton had 'trouble' with a local furniture company Sofa King using the slogan 'our prices are sofaking low' many years ago..

The chap got so much free advertising from it in the newspapers.

Is that the Irish version?

Bermondsey = Millwall territory. Fits in quite well with their vocabulary

My son was in a band called For Cuba a couple of years ago.
Made me giggle.
