Jack's

fwiw

How dare Tesco steal the name of this venerable Stroud Green institution! The fellas at Jack's should write them a stern letter.

I cannot believe the pictures of people queuing from 3am for it. What are they thinking?
It's a discount supermarket, stocks will be replenished.
It's no wonder this country is going mad at the seams.

Scruffy

And bursting as a hatter?

Papa

And bursting as a hatter?

Indeed.

We can use it as our new post Brexit slogan to attract visitors and businesses alike.

Britain: Mad at the seams and bursting as a hatter.

Come on in, you know you want to.

i'm sure if the off-licence opened AFTER the tesco project, they'd be sued for use of name. offie jack should def consult a lawyer and see if there's money to be made, or a cease and desist order - might get him some free publicity at least.

i remember during the london olympics a stratford long-established caf called the 'olympic cafe' was told by the olympic body that it couldn't use the name any more - they were fiercely litigious!
