Gives the impression that they don't give a toss about their public image (so the service is likely to be crap), and/or the business is about to go tits-up. Mentioned before on here but a cheapy shoe shop on Dunfermline High St lost the S from its sign. Shoe Fayre became hoe Fayre. Sounded very gangsta. Hoes gotta get their hoe gear from hoe fayre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Selling a house. My dad passed away last year and my brother and I are in the process of selling his flat. We had accepted an offer last year but after weeks of fucking about by the other side's solicitor it fell through. Accepted another offer in January and completion was supposed to be today, but the buyer's paperwork isn't ready yet. They picked the fucking date themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I just got skooshed by one of those automatic air fresheners in the pub toilet. I'm going to be reeking like a hoor's handbag all fucking night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I ate at one of these back in the day. Nothing like as good as it was cracked up to be. Anyway, today's PTTGOYN is that someone tried to haggle me down from 25p to 20p for an item because "I've seen them sell at that price at other shops" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I assumed this Barcelona eatery had 2 letters missing. Imagine my surprise when they insisted Chow Mein was a noodle dish and not what I was after at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
