If I remember right, the story was just about the rather expensive looking sign being wrong. I'm sure their Alloys are top class... :D

There is another sign that annoys me everytime I go down Gt Western Rd...

Bike Sorce

And no that is not a typo, that is what it says!

Why? Why does it say that?

What is Sorce?

Everytime I see it it causes me trauma...

That one also annoys me because it used to be an excellent charity shop.

I mean, that can't be an accidental misspelling can it???

I'll get back to you on that one.



Okay I'm back. Their website tells me nothing, although I'm sorry I missed Kate's Big Weekender in March. That sounded intruiging.

Feel free to email them and ask. http://www.bikesorce.co.uk

Three signs side by side, temporarily revealed as shop units are converted back into flats...

I was there last week, dropping off my poor ailing camera. I would have taken a pic of that sign, but, you know, my reason for going there, kinda prevented me from doing so...

I think it's supposed to be a 'trendy' way to name the business.

this guy was 'busking' on Princes Street. just holding the sign, not wanting money or anything. on the reverse side it read 'Ich Leibe Deich'... some girls asked him about what he was up to (couldn't hear what was said). he got them to photograph him with his camera, then he wandered off a few minutes later...
