Here’s one for you to think about over the weekend.
Why are so many furniture shops named with three letter acronyms? We’ve got DFS, CSL, SCS and I spotted a HFS on Talbot Road just now.

Good question Phil, perhaps its more easier to remember, theres probably a psychological reason for it, but we have the IRA,UVF,BNP and the UAF, lol.(unusual furntiture providers, lol)
I am surprised you havent done an article about the latest Tithebarn farce and how Fylde councils are spending 10000s on solicitors to fight it, incredible!

I don’t live my life plugged into the internet you know!
(almost..)
There isn’t much to say other than to remind Herr Callow that his council were bleating about the Starr Gate residents when they allocated 20 grand towards legal fees to fight them on NIMBY grounds and he’s doing exactly the same thing.

Too true, Herr Callow is Herr Hypocrite.

I think the acronyms are because they’re quicker to say and therefore more likely to get into the public’s mind. Of course there’s also the problem of confusion when stores choose similar names. I know of a lady who swears she’s leaving ASDA her money in her will. (I think it’s the PDSA really). Of course Phil you could follow the trend and become PTO but people might think you’re a porn blog then.

One of my favourite acronyms I have heard recently is ABBA, people will say I will fly with ABBA aka Anyone But British Airways and good on them I say.

DFS is Drab Furiture Store.
SCS is Sad Crap Sofas.
CSL is Crap Sofas Limited
so i guess HFS is Hell-of-a-lot-o Fucking Sofas?

Horrible Fucking Shite I think

You forgot MFI – Oh No – best forgotten just remembered

And on top of that, we’re acquiring a JLS this week.

Is it really HFS? I see that HSL has a showroom on Talbot Road – ugly reclining chairs and beds for people that want their own home to look like an old people’s home.
