Something that is definitely a PTTGOYN for me is pubs that have some shitey laminated "Whiskey" menu which on inspection is chock full of Scotch Whisky and maybe a wee Jamesons at the end as a token gesture. My wife has asked why this annoys me but I prefer just to find another pub. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to go in places with mistakes in their boards outside, or want to leave if the menu has errors or Americanisms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that bothered about misspelled signage or incorrect use of apostrophes on handwritten shop signs enough to refuse them my custom if in general it looks like somewhere I'd like. The one place however that I would absolutely refuse to even entertain giving them my custom is the tattoo shop in Larkhall that has tattoo incorrectly spelled on their sign ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds of a wee newspaper cartoon I saw decades ago, for some reason has stuck with me.........tattooist is standing with a piece of paper in his hand on which 'BERTHA' is written. Beside tattooist is a huge, musclebound, angry customer with 'BERT' tattooed on his chest in large letters. He's saying "Well, you'd better find some more ink, hadn't you......" (Yeah, I know, you had to be there..) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I parked in the one in Morningside during the week (I was working in a place round the corner with almost zero parking spots). After finishing the job, I went into the shop to "get a couple of things", spent £20 and had next to f**k all the cheeky buggers. The people shopping there regularly must be loaded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Our 'local shop for local people' actually sells Waitrose products. Up until about 6 months ago it was Co-Op they had some tie-in with, then suddenly it was Waitrose. Not that I buy anything there.............................apart from the occasional boatil........... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
