All the Facebook comments from locals, too?Quote:

They only refer to one silly comment made on facebook, which could easily be from the owner trying to drum up some free publicityQuote:

When you say "I believe" do you simply mean you simple want to believe it or you have seen evidence?Quote:

Amazing that the most incendiary remark that the newspapers run with is this one then (which I agree is a bit silly, but hardly in the realms of you are a racist/tear down your flags):Quote:

"Like many people I live in London because of its international nature, and for me personally having a big sign on the Broadway saying 'Really British' makes me feel you're implying that other local businesses in the area are therefore somehow 'not really British'.
"Some will no doubt say I'm over-sensitive.
"But I can't help thinking that given the recent divisive referendum and the current political climate you might have chosen a more inclusive name in 2016."
All else is heresay from a man whose products are now splashed all over at least four national newspapers.
I'm surprised he didn't tweet himself a death threat for good measureQuote:

I have one and can recommend them as a Xmas present for friend or family.
I certainly wouldn't let any child enter his shop unaccompanied, put it that way.Quote:

You know, and I think you may have already pointed this out, the whole thing really is a marketing and PR masterpiece.
