House of Booze


This is a shop near my tube station on Finchley Road. One thing I love about the UK is how they name things. As my friend Marcia just said their Environment Protection Agency is called British Nature; it just is what it is. So this shop; which sells all sorts of liquor is called "House of Booze." They just call it what it is.

The naming frankness you're observing is in stark contrast to my recollections of the excessive politesse of most British signs... which take twice as many words to say "Keep hands inside vehicle" or "Authorized personnel only..."
