    Blimey,

    I feel sorry for her, even as a vegetarian, thats horrible that they've ruined her business.

    However, if we could employ a similar tactic against the banks........

    What were those people thinking? How could it possibly turn out alright? If I saw that, I'd think twice about eating there (I'd think twice about getting things from a burger van anyway but that's a different story).

    Well, I doubt many people will have been fooled by the the crudely scrawled sign saying 'condemed for crimes against sausages!'
    It's on an industrial estate and it's probably given her loads of extra business!

      It hasn't though has it. The tape will be visible from much further away than the makeshift sign, so people aren't going to walk up to read it when they can see from a distance that its clearly closed and looks like it might be permanently so.

      The tape looks like it's been wrapped around it by the local hoodlums. Seriously does it look official to you?

          Doesn't matter. Human nature is a funny thing. Would you eat food on the basis that it probably is ok?

            I had no idea my thread would have kept members occupied for so long.

            That has to be a joke. I have never trusted the daily mail with stories like that. Even the sign screams local teenagers playing jokes.
