I was at a funeral home I work with regularly and a staff member was telling me how good my car is after seeing a John Cardegan video. Better than Merc, she told me! Low and behold, another i30SR pulls up - same colour, black personalised plate like mine. Took me a minute to figure out it was the regular SR, not the SR Premium, which I have. So I had the smug satisfaction of having the best car in the parking lot (by the estimation of my colleague), and I'd just cleaned it, so it looked better than the twin.

Another branch of this company is across the road from a pub called "The Last Drop". While they were building the funeral home some wag put a sign up that said, "The Last Stop".

There's a pub in York.
In the Shambles 😀 iirc.
Called "The Long Drop Inn"

The sign outside features a hangman's noose.  :crazy1:

IMHO it would have been better for a pub with that sign of hangman's noose to be call

"Till the last drop"
