Bargain ooze - broken shop signs

equalsql

One of the great examples of where a shop's sign (Bargain Booze) has been damaged and not repaired. This one was in Cheadle.

My wife spotted another one yesterday for Cost Cutters  's  Cutters'  which is quite brilliant.

Anyone encountered any similar humorous busted shop sign?

There used to be a pizza joint in Durham called "Beni's" that had a running campaign against vandals who would break it to look like "penis" within days of each repair. When interviewed about the issue for the student paper the owner said that it had to be students doing it because the locals wouldn't have thought to remove the apostrophe.

No, not busted ones, but there are a few shopkeepers with a sense of humour, eg

• the sandwich shop in the Kings Cross area called "Sam Widges"
• the bargain store in Maidenhead High Street called "Kin Cheap"

I was walking past a block of flats yesterday, "Tithe Court". Someone had very obviously removed the "he" to rename it.

Similarly, Reiverside Drive will always be known to me and my friends as "ersid Riv" after the management company took about ten years to replace the missing letters.

"Priceless hoes" rather than "priceless shoes" in Consett

"Share and enjoy" (strapline of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation), after it had sunk into the ground by half its height under its own weight, said "Go stick your head in a pig"

That'll explain why no new roads are called "Tithe Walk" ) A shop for Aerosmith fans! http://www.shophorror.co.uk/pages/20.html

There's a hairdressers in Sandy called Tops Spot, with no gap between the two words. Someone removed the first R about a year ago.

Grigor Drive in Inverness is missing its 'G'. I suspect all the doors on that street have Mortis locks.

Not that funny, but the letters have been dropping off the sign outside the dry cleaner's near where I work, and for a time before it just became illegible, it looked the place was the surgery of a certain "Dr. Leaner."

On the other hand, Preston is famous for being the site of the viral picture of the sign outside our Morrisons. where the light in the middle section of the sign had failed, simply leaving the word "Mor   ons".

Morrisons in Brentford high street had some of the sign unlit when it first opened. It's been known as Morons by the locals ever since.

There's also a shop in Southend, opposite the Riga Bar, that should have a sign that says Essex Furniture, but it's been Sex Furniture for as long as I can remember.

I love that richard III camping shop where it says 'now is the winter of our discount tents'

A curry house opened near us, but the sign was mis-spelt - it isn't funny or anything, but we still call the place by the mis-spelt name:  "Balti Eessence".

In Leicester there used to be an off licence called "Belvoir Liquors".  You have to know how to pronounce Belvoir for that one to work...

I used to Live there and that is proper funny.
I still remember spending hours wandering around Charles St. Looking for the street where I had been directed before I realised it WAS the right street.

Btw - is 'The Attic' still going ?
I got arrested In summer '91 for sitting on the top tier of the water fountain I'm just my boxer shorts after a night in there.

Happy memories !
