In October you were presented with mesmerising and disturbing signage at Peter Ferrall & Son’s Midland store. Now E.V shows us the state of Ferrall pere et fils‘ Rockingham signs. “These aren’t quite up to the worstness of the others, but they’re getting there,” E.V. said. Au contraire, E.V. – they are magnificent, and better. I’m sure I spotted these as they trudged down the road in The Road. To add extra sinisterness, I include an…object I papped at Guildford train station on the weekend. What does it mean, apart from not trusting anyone called Farrell? Who are the FGWA?
Update, Wednesday June 1: Lil’ Sis’, BoT’s sibling, kindly sent pics she took yesterday of those Midland Ferrall signs. See the image of Ferrall pere at the bottom. Yikes. It has, er, deteriorated since it was shown in October.

Were vexed to nightmare by a king sized
Hip and back memory foam mattress …
Blah blah … Bedlehem …

No, they went from unashamedly co-opting the fish to flog mattresses to devil dodgers, to unashamedly co-opting the ‘strayan flag to flog matresses to bogans.
It seems bed may be the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Team RubyRuby has purchased not one but two beds – the full hip ‘n’ back, mattress divan set – from this mob. It was not until muuuuch later that I found out that they had “sales” every other week. We thought we’d done well getting $50 off delivery…
So, that’s two beds sold for full price, BUT bloody excellent mattresses and I would recommend them for low-bullshit salesmanship (reason bed 1 was purchased) and quality (reason we went back for bed 2). Even at full price, it wasn’t too bad, anyway.
Now, where do I go for my $5?

Had the great misfortune of attending the V8 supercars at Barbagello and being sat next to Ferrall Senior… I can tell you these pictures they use on their shops are about 20 years old… Either that or the mattresses they sleep on are not giving them a good night’s sleep…
