On very rare occasions you’ll still see shops in London that have 0181 advertised as the area code outside (I guess 0171 as well but imagine most Inner London shops have got that shit locked down by now). It’s a real treat.

Disagree with this very strongly indeed. However I then remember that the Flying V is made by Gibson and that automatically makes me more sympathetic to your point.

Remember reading somewhere that they’re both weirdly made by the same company. The brown sauce equivalent of if Coke and Pepsi were made in the same factory!
I worked with a descendant of the Chubb family and he told us that apparently chubb locks weren’t anything particularly special, so they paid some prisoners to do a stunt where they couldn’t pull off an prison break due to the locks all being Chubb ones. And that’s what made them so popular. Good PR, people. That’s all it takes!
