There was a "fake shop" in Bedford for quite a while. The shop which is now there has a sign on it which says "this is a real shop". I thought I had a photo of it but can't find it. It wasn't anywhere near as good as this anyway.

A real shop for real people.
Oh, I've found an article about it (the Daily Mail, no less!). I didn't realise it was the work of Tim Hunkin.
I've created a thread about it here: https://feddit.uk/post/2611422
Good stuff and a new community for me to follow.
Make sure you scroll back as far as "Having trouble sleeping?" 🙂
Brilliant! With the early Internet we were just making it up as we went along.
