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.'

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
