Not unusual; most are installed in sets of four: "Gas, Food, Lodging, Attractions" (whether anything is there or not) spaced about a quarter-mile apart with the last sign about a quarter mile before the "Exit 1 mile" sign. Plus, that looks like a construction zone and the sign newly installed.

*Other towns are available.

A town that’s three letters longer than it needs to be.

One of my ex-girlfriend Little Karen's favourite sayings.  Another one was 'there's always something to see with a view', and on one occasion we were walking up Clifton Street in the small wee hours and there was a lad slumped over unconcious in a shop doorway clutching a lager can, and without batting an eyelid she came out with 'I bet he drinks Carling Black Label'!

 

You had to be up dead early to beat Li'l Kaz.

Surely that is back to front, you would  look like that if you had a syrup fitted.

Of course, the other possibility is that their company name has been deliberately engineered to make it more memorable and drum up trade.  It has certainly gained quite a bit of free advertising in this forum, although I would not employ them for anything unless I had my back to the wall!

Which is...?? 🤷‍♂️

 

Harris - Aristotle - Bottle - Bottle and Glass - Ar$£

 

Also see Khyber (Pass), Hagen (Daas) and Mylene (Klass)

 

There's also Harris Tweed for weed. But I think that's not a proper Cockney one.

 

 

Remembering that old style Cockney's would drop their Aitches, so 'arris rather than Harris
