John Morrison Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Walking round Goole, an East Yorkshire town (and port), I did a double-take when I saw this new shop establishment… so duly took a pic. A quick Google search turned up nothing by way of explanation. Goole is not the sort of town given to creative expression or surreal art installations… so I’m still baffled. Any ideas... or possible explanations?? Edited May 12, 2022 by John Morrison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Yarvin Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Because I'm in small-town Pennsylvania, I had to look three or four times before I noticed something that a British person might think is odd. Very many businesses around here use Jesus in the signage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he do the books, pay the wages and attend shareholders’ meetings, or, in business terms, is he more of a sleeping partner? 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Looks like a family-run business or a franchise to me. 😎 Could it be a front for an illegal Yorkshire pudding laundering operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 One of my favourite bumper stickers popular during the 70's was, "Jesus is coming back, and boy is he mad!" He'd be even madder now... 🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was about some rich folks rewriting the rules so they no longer applied to them. Hang on a bit, sounds familiar........
