Pun shops
Another left-bank pun shop.
Un pun-shop du midi in Montréjeau: disused, sadly (two bystanders asked me if I was interested in the property, and I had to explain that my interest was purely verbal).
Pun shops have spread even to the town of my birth, Hitchin, Herts.
Found in the shopping centre at the Old Street roundabout.
A statue to Willem Elsschot, Antwerp’s literary son and author of “Cheese”.
Found during a therapeutic walk from the Gare St-Lazare to the Gare du Nord while travelling from Rouen to London.
Found by Rosemary Galton in East Finchley.
Antony Galton took this in Bar Harbor, Maine, in 2005, and says: “The bird pictured is a Common Loon (i.e., what we British call a Great Northern Diver).”
Another by Antony Galton, from Looe.
Another from Antony Galton, found in Exeter, Devon.
Found by Antony Galton in Borough, London.
Found by Antony Galton in Orono, ME.
In cheeky Harrogate.
Found by Tom Steinberg in Stoke-on-Trent.
Another utterly baffling hairdresser, in Sherbourne.
Another gem from Anna PS, found in Headington.
Not a shop, but this shocking example of public sector advertising (even if it is in motorists’ best interests) had to be exposed.
Not in Cley, so pronounced “cleye”.
“Made In Cley” is in Cley, so pronounced “clay”.
Belief systems under attack join forces?
Classic East London: no shame.
Anna PS found this chippie.
A dogmatic optician in London.
