Johnny Bognor Posted 27 September, 2010 Share Posted 27 September, 2010 (edited) At the Oving traffic lights, on the Chichester Bypass, you can see Beaver Tool Hire, which always makes me giggle. They usually do some funny road side advertising and a couple of years ago they had the strapline "Trim your bush with a Beaver Trimmer" underneath a female mannequin. After many complaints, they had to take it down. EDIT: Just found a picture More recently, they had Darth Vader with a garden fork along with the strapline "Use the Fork" Edited 27 September, 2010 by Johnny Bognor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 27 September, 2010 Share Posted 27 September, 2010 Fork n' Chips in Woolston is quite good. Noticed their windows were smashed in last week.
