Picture of a cat on facebook page so assume pussy?

I actually find the name really offensive.

Why exactly is that funny and clever? Is there any council or landlord regulation? I could understand it if there was some clever reference but unless I'm missing something.... it is a restaurant. Which has chosen to name itself after the arousal fluid from a woman. That is not really the kind of thing I like to think about when going out for a meal. It also seems a really unnecessary attempt to be.... what? Controversial?


Really dislike it, really hope they change the name, certainly won't be going in there unless they do. I'm tired enough of the pornification of ordinary life without it seeping into posh sodding pop-up restaurants.

Did you know that definition before, or did you have to look up the urban dictionary in order to find out if you should be terribly offended?

its not exactly hard to interpret what something pronounced as 'pussy licker' means, urban dictionary definition added just to avoid the 'maybe that isn't what they mean' comments.


Very try hard, very tiring, and I hope its just a stunt in advance of opening as I can't imagine it increasing their footfall - if I walked past that name without knowing what it was, I would not be assuming 'innovative pop-up restaurant.'

    • Considering the private revision study that my children undertook, perhaps 15 to 20 years ago in that library it seems a shame they have timed the refurbishment so it won't be open at this crucial time for children. But hey, so long as it's greener... 
    • Enforcement costs money which I doubt the fines actually pay for. Presumably it hasn't been a priority.

    • Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.
