  • Old shop sticker wording

    Posted by AaSk4Stickers on 21 January 2004 at 12:17

    I am told by “one of those that are always right”, that there is / was a pretty common window / door sticker in the UK that said something like:

    Sometimes we open at 6am
    Sometimes we are here til’ late
    At other times we are not here at all
    etc

    There were apparently about 6 lines of wording in all.

    Anyone recall them, and more particularly what the missing lines are!

    I don’t know of that one Alan, but I did see one a few years back that read;

    Open Mon. to Sat. 9am to 6pm.
    Wednesday afternoons a bit iffy. (hmm)

    Hi Alan…
    I have seen something like that too…
    But I can’t find it!
    I will try to locate it for you.
    In the meantime…
    Just make yourself a
    GONE FISHIN’
    sign…it should cover anything.
    Love- JILL πŸ˜‰

    Many thanks Alan, Jill and Gazza.

    “‘er indoors” is still keen on finding the missing words to the one I quoted.

    Jill – If you remember what the words were, I would be eternally grateful – I would even go so far as to promise that I won’t ever comment about your new, new hairstyle / image

    Cheers

    Alan

    Alan:
    Open Monday thru Friday 9-5
    Except when we are closed.
    Daily lunch 11-1
    And until 3 on Wednesdays
    (Spaghetti Buffet)
    You might catch us after 7 pm Tuesday
    Unless we are at the Bowling Alley
    Saturdays we are here by chance
    It’s a good chance we’re at the bar.
    Sunday we will be closed for Church
    Unless we have a hangover.

    I just made that up. I looked everywhere too,
    but could not find the original.
    So put THAT in yer pipe and smoke it!
    And whatsa matter with my hair?
    Love-JILL πŸ˜‰

    …BUT sometimes is better than never
    and never is best of all…

    Hiya Jill

    Your hair looks great – pink or otherwise – believe me nobody who has as little hair as I have, would ever make any derogatory comments about someone else’s barnet
    πŸ˜€

    Thanks for the suggested wording btw, but it’s not “quite” the original.

    Also by the way, my pipe has been “filed” away for quite a while now, and I feel much better as a result.

    You don’t happen to have seen a little electronic gadget near you? It was supposed to go to the other “Mars” but perhaps one of our European “Allies” built the navigation system
    πŸ˜€

    Hiya Jenny

    I have passed your suggestion on – I am awaiting for the “roar of approval”
    (hot)
    or otherwise
    πŸ˜₯

    Regards to all in the nicest spot in Oz

    Alan…
    Jenny’s response is fairly similar to the one I saw.
    And it is OK to tease me. I have 3 older brothers
    & am quite used to it after 41 years. πŸ˜†
    I saw a weird vehicle when I was in Mars last week.
    It was parked at Good Old Uncle Bob’s.
    Guess the owners had closed their shop for lunch.
