I seem to recall @anon45164313 once identified a Manchester pet shop as a possible (definite?) front for money laundering.

Yep
I did! It was really not a hard nut to crack though. Can’t believe it lasted so long

WH Smith is a money laundering front. Absolutely no way a shop as useless as that could survive otherwise in these trying times.

Own label manufacturers are sometimes a big name brand that sells products under its own name as well, and sometimes ones you’ve never heard of. I can’t definitively say that there are no products where the own label is exactly the same as a branded line but cheaper, but it’s definitely not the case for everything. Probably depends on how important the product is but supermarkets don’t necessarily want their stuff to be exactly the same as the other supermarkets’.
The “original” taste of any brand is better than the knock off (i.e. Cheerios, not Honey Nut, Triscuits, not olive oil and garlic, Doritos not Cool Ranch)
at big outdoor gigs the rule is the sound always has to be dogshit for the support bands but miraculously becomes quite good when the headliner comes on
Wow I’m glad I read this thread. A lozenge? Like a strepsil lozenge?

Walked past this place in Belfast last week. There’s almost definitely a Men in Black alien gun shop inside.

There’s about twenty ice cream places near the brudenell and only a couple have more than 2/3 people in. Definitely some money laundering going on.
Same with barbers in Nottingham
There’s a Caribbean takeaway near me that appeared a couple of years ago. It’s on an otherwise residential street in what I’m sure was previously just a block of garages, I’ve never seen anybody in there, they don’t seem to be on Just Eat or any of that and their original sign had a typo in it.

See that sounds legit to me, there’s plenty of places that don’t bother with the delivery companies or don’t need them, especially if they specialise. The takeaways near me are both your general burger, pizza and chips places, and the one time I went in one of them at the end of a night out the guy seemed surprised to see someone come in and had to put a batch of chips in the fryer just for me on a Saturday night.
It’s actually ‽
Really irks me. !? is inarguably more aesthetically pleasing

Makes sense in terms of the word itself though: interro- the question - comes before bang - the exclamation.
