    I had no idea there were Hooters in the UK... I remember seeing them in Texas and my (female) friend driving quickly past telling me we should NEVER go there...

    Talking of milking a "concept" to the full I was wondering to myself the other day when French Connection is going to reinvent itself and rid itself of its tired old FCUK branding... The "FCUK" concept was amusing and vaguely witty for a nanosecond when they first used it back in the late 90s but now it's simply dull. A bit like a boring nerd telling the same joke again and again and again, snorting with laughter to himself every time...

    I do recall walking around the Liberty Bell exhibition in Pilly with my wife at the time, the boss was wearing an FCUK hoodie and the expressions on the faces of the uptight cops guarding the exhibition were hilarious whilst they tried to work out if she was being obscene or not :-D

    I agree though, now desperately tired.

    To be fair I don't think you're their target audience. Nothing against it myself, can't say I'd take the wife and kids though.
