Casual Misogyny, Archway

I like the name of this business, it’s a good pun, but I’m not so sure about the casual misogyny that follows. That’s the kind of humour that used to wheeze through the lips of bloated old “Churchill the Insurance Dog”  lookalike, stand-up comedians in the late 1970′s. I can only assume that this person must’ve had some bad experiences with women in the past…driving around with this on his roof I don’t think he’s in for any good ones anytime soon.

Burger Van Menu, Vauxhall

I love a bit of vague copyright infringement, especially when it’s taking on one of the big boys who often seem to lack a sense of humour about such things. This is an excellent example.

What the Dickens? , Tooting

Great piece of punnery bringing together one of Dickens finest works and the world of original and reproduction fireplaces.

Church Sign Pun, Earlsfield

A pretty respectable pun here from this church in Earlsfield. I can’t pretend however that I don’t wish that this was a sign for a plastic surgery clinic run by a surgeon with a lisp instead.

DIY, Spitalfields City Farm

Like many people across London at the moment I’m looking for ways to bring in a little extra cash. I saw this sign at Spitalfields City Farm and thought I’d found a clever new revenue stream for myself. Well, to cut a long story short it turns out that I had severely misunderstood what “Bring Own” meant. Consequently I am now forbidden to stray within 500ft of this place.
