There was a piece in the Metro about supermarkets finding that people had re-arranged the herbs on the shelves to spell out rude words.


I went into the Co-op on Forest Hill Road tonight and someone had mucked about with the jars and had spelled BOOBS.


Gutted that someone else got to do it first. :)


It's a bit childish, but it's not hurting anyone and cheered me up. Anyone else see this?

Up at a hotel in huddersfield years ago on a wedding party I agreed with my cousin to 're-spell' the name of the hotel in the huge white-painted boulders that spelled out the hotel name 'Hilton' on a muddy bank in front of the hotel on a busy roundabout. My cousin was so drunk I left him by the dancefloor at 3am and went out front, wrapped plastic bags around my feet and renamed the place 'Hotel HELL'. Couldn't stop grinning as I walked back past the reception desk (having unclad my still shiny shoes, as my alibi).


Next morning my little party piece went down a treat with the rellies as i dragged them before breakfast across to the other side of the roundabout junction for a private 'viewing', certainly helped the breakfast joviality.

Admittedly, it wasn't jam jars, but same sentiment, right ?

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
