Flex Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I've got a pic of a reserved parking space at a hotel we stayed at for Valentines, which was reserved for Mr Stiff. I kid you not. I dont remember there being a Mr Stiff as part of the Mr Men. 1 Quote
ilogikal1 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 My previous job involved dealing with literally thousands of client names, so I've seen all sorts. Amongst which include; Justin Case. Justin Cider. B.J. Gobble. Dr. E. Ville. Dickie Holder. Belle Ends. Dick Mann. Hayden Seek. Alec Tricity. Consecutively Mrs Hercock immediately followed by Mr Bob Hiscock which made me chuckle. And my personal favourite - Mr. A. Handasyda-Dick. Quote

Just down the road from the vets there was a Chinese Restaurant called "Hung Phat". Never really fancied eating in there somehow . Pete 1 Quote

JetSet Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 In the 70's there were three shops on the quite unique rows in Chester all in Eastgate Street, they were Blacks, Whites and Browns. Browns is still there but is now called Debenhams (but still known to locals as Browns), The other 2 have relocated within Chester. Pete Quote

HEADPHONES Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 When I go to my local Chinese restaurant/cash n carry I always feel wary when ordering dishes from the FOOKIEN Provence. Famous for their fried rice and fried noodles. "Waiter......I'd like to order some FOOKIEN fried rice and some FOOKIEN fried noodles!" Then I go downstairs to their supermarket and often buy some cookies by the CHING KEE COOKIE ROLL company Quote
