A blight on humanity...
Sep. 14th, 2008 04:35 pmWell, perhaps that's an exaggeration but there are certain words which are guaranteed to raise my blood pressure. The first ones that leap to mind are as follows:
Ye
Olde
Shoppe
Fayre (particularly when applied to food, slightly less when applied to an event)
Given that we Brits live in a country with real history, we really don't need cod-anachronistic signage to tell us whatever it's supposed to tell us... What would make anyone think that a pub sign advertising 'home-cooked fayre' is any better than anywhere else?
