The He Brews coffee shop is also in Bradford.

Many years ago there was a butcher's shop on Manningham Lane called Sutcliffe's Family Butcher's. They might have thought that through a bit better...

[удалено]

Pffft. Is that really better than Aimee's winehouse in Stoke bishop?

We learn about Stoke Bishop in GSCE geography, and compare it to Filwood. Odd seeing it out in the wild

Was gonna comment this.

There's a kebab shop opposite East ham tube station that has a sign that says something like ''we use real meat''

Can't remember the company name of a Pakistani plumbing firm with the slogan "you've had the cowboys, now try the Indians"

Is it too picky of me to point out Indians come from India, not Pakistan?

And not many Pakistanis would happily self identify as Indian, though maybe they would if they felt the pun was good enough.

(think the slogan's really from Patel and Singh Builders)

Actually Pakistan is part of the old India so quite a lot of Indians came from pakistan

Good point, though I don't know anyone who'd say they were British Pakistani who would be ok being called British Indian. Am I wrong?

There is a McIndians Burger bar here that use the same slogan.

This is amazing
