I've no idea if it sells cod and chips or cans of worms, but either way, "Of Kent" isn't a suffix that needed to be added here. Still sounds more exciting than Fireplace World, mind.

Fishing World Of Kent conjures many images, none of them ambitious ones

Klassy Fish Bar is anything but
There once was a time when replacing the letter S with Z, and C with K, was cool. That time was 1991. In those rubbish annuals you used to get at Christmas as a kid, like Sonic and Dr Who.
Cut to East Dulwich in 2009, and here we have the newly opened Klassy Fish Bar. It's so new in fact that it's not on Google Street View - according to @owenm who snapped this suave sign, it used to be a Codfather. Yup, that's right, ANOTHER Codfather.
Thanks Owen, keep it klassy.

ChiFis, Acton
Some of the finest words in the English language have been born from welding together two pre-existing words: synergy; infotainment; chillax. Some words, however, do not go together. Like chicken and fish. The owners of this fast-food outlet found out all too late.

Crap, ain't it? I think if FCKF proved anything, combining chicken and fish into one catchy name is harder than one would think.
On a more positive note, this is on the same road as Maxin Mix and Hello Pizza. Surely this puts Acton High Street in the top 3 streets on the planet? The Acton tourist board should be all over this. Does Acton have a tourist board? Personally, I'd figure there's just a loan tourism officer, passed out in a pool of his own vomit, tears and semen. If anyone knows him, let us know.

FCKF: when acronyms go too far
Or should that be WAGTF? This chicken shop spotted in Shoreditch just has too much going on. There are no fewer than 16 food menu items picture up there, and I reckon if I looked hard enough I'd eventually spot the owner's national insurance number, bank account details and pin number on there somewhere too, there's so much clutter.

WHERE DID THE FISH JACKET COME FROM?Unbelievably, it's not the only Codfather chippie in the UK. Check out this typeface copyright infringing Codfather in Clapham.

Props to Joe, who sent us this tip during working hours, skiver.

Takeaways with names that could pass for Israeli nightclubs #1: Fishcotheque
Brilliantly, someone has found a ladder tall enough to reach the top of the sign, just to try and spell the word "Succubus" (Maybe one of those OUTTLAWS, eh?). Anyone who lives in Southwark, please confirm for us just how jumping this joint is. We're thinking bouncy.View Larger Map
Tragically, scaffolding obscures our vision on Google Street View day. Why the Google drivers didn't park up and go in with the camera for a fish cake is anyone's guess. FOR SHAME.
Picture shamelessly stolen from noodlepie's Flickr stream. And what?

Pictures of saveloy in the public domain
The fascinating thing about Flickr is that you can give photos a Creative Commons license. Not only does that mean lazy blogs like us can use them, but it also means the photographers deigned them vital for public discourse. So, who thinks saveloy falls into that definition?

celie does. Has bitten off more than celie can chew and left chips, cod and saveloy all uneaten. Shotgun.

Photoportunity does too. Must live some where t'up north where an entire "bucket" of chips costs 80p and people know what's going on in Coronation Street.

We don't know who erase is but he's clearly been on a camping trip with David Cameron. Davey loves a chipolata.

Happy Dave has a friend in the army. He also likes a bit of sausage. Gay innuendo gets drilled into them in Sandhurst you know.

It's possible that this baby is dead but we can't be bothered to check with jgrnly, or ask why it comes up when you search for saveloy.
