Coat buisness window

This notice appeared in the window of a coat store in Nottingham, England:

"We have been established for over 100 years and have been pleasing and

displeasing customers ever since. We have made money and lost money,

suffered the effects of coal nationalization, coat rationing, government

control and bad payers. We have been cussed and discussed, messed about,

lied to, held up, robbed and swindled. The only reason we stay in business

is to see what happens next." (Source: Unknown)
