Yeah, I Think That Sign Could Use a “Do-Over”

The UK’s Telegraph Travel might not be able to see a problem.  But I think I can.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

Perhaps not the best choice of font for the sign.

How much do you wager a coffee with *all* the furnishing is?

I’d be interested enough to go find out if I lived nearby!!

Perfect! Leave it just the way it is.

Critics, critics, critics!

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Oh, dear, now I have to put ‘snarc’ after what I post.

The sign has been, per someone else, up there for 12 years. Someone just noticed that the “T” looks like and “F”.

I got quite a giggle out of it. But then, my sense of humor is warped.

Looks foreign to me. I don’t like the idea of foreigners stealing our coffee shop concept.

They’re probably doing it wrong anyway.

Here on Long Island there used to be a furniture store delivery truck with the sign that read “Our Prices are Sofa King Low”. Haven’t seen it in a while, but loved it

There’s no way that was unintentional.

I read the original news report, including the comments from readers.

The coffee shop is in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England.

That sign has been there for twelve (12) years.

One of the readers commented that children in English schools were (or used to be) taught to write that style of font for the letter, “T”.

Someone else pointed out that on old documents and old cemetery headstones, the letter, “S”, is shown in Olde English as an, “F” (which you can see right now at the National Archives web site when researching the Declaration of Independence).

Sounds like a Bradley Manning joint.

Reminds me of a bar I heard about in Pattaya Beach.

Back in 1966 or so I was at the theater candy counter and saw a roll of chocolates called “FUCKS”

When I looked closer, it really was FLICKS.

I just did a Google Image search now and see the candy wrapper uses lowercased letters after the capital F: Flicks.

Ohhhhhh welll.
