Leek butcher warned by police over 'risque' adverts

ffs who can't cut up their own leek?

A joke about having your rump tenderised before you leave the shop...Who the hell gets offended by that? Even worse there are people who think there are people who would!

Quite tame compared to Tony's butchers in Essex.

I thought Leeks were sold by greengrocers not butchers

A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: "We've received no complaints about signage outside J W Ash and Son butchers in Leek.

"However, the local chief inspector did advise the owner to give careful consideration to what was written on the boards in case anyone took offence. No other action has been taken."

The biggest crime these days is causing offence.  Worse than rape or murder.

As for "Have your rump tenderised before you leave", rump is a type of steak and that type of meat is best tenderised to make it more palatable.  Innuendos are in the mind of the listener.  Music Hall stars used them back in the day when you really couldn't swear or be smutty.  A famous one goes:

I was walking along a narrow path up in the mountains when a beautiful woman came walking towards me.  I didn't know whether I should toss myself off or block her passage.

Jobsworths always go for the trivial, it makes them feel important. Bless.

Police have to keep the "solved crime" figures high it seems.

Shouldn't someone in higher authority consider the position of the local chief inspector if he/she can find time to pursue this nonsense?

Agree, no police available for real crimes but plenty for this nonsense.

I saw this story in the newspaper, If I remember rightly they buried the sausage about 5 or 6 pages in

Is this where I tell the joke about the butcher's assistant putting his d!ck in the bacon slicer?

LOL what are we coming to. I just cracked Phil Lynott's
"any of you girls out there got an Irish in you? Any of you want some?"
joke on another thread.
Would the PC Gestapo be giving him a chat and his live albums removed from the shelves now?

Meanwhile pretty much every rap video is p0rn mixed with boasting about violence!

Sounds like the butcher has given up. He's fallen on his pork sword.

Yes, I went to check what he had on his board today.

Not a sausage.

In the shop they'll no doubt refer in backslang to the police inspector as a daft tnuc.

The world has gone pc mad.

I would tell the joke about the guy who came across a Genie when polishing an old urn he found and was granted 3 wishes, but I would probably get banned

if I see any more references to pork I will have to press my red button

Meanwhile...... in Essex...... At Tony Leggs Butchers...... his Jumbo Sausage and Meatball combo is worth Monkeying around with.

This thread is for the chop.

DON'T MENTION PORK!!!!!  Someone will take a fence.

Lucky he's not selling 2 veg with his meat.
