It is king amongst alcohol outlets.

Where else can I get 24 Bows, a large bottle of Smirnoff, a bottle of Port and some mixers for around £25 for a train journey home?

Offy? Thats just bizzare - took me months to work out why it was called that!

Why don't you adopt the Australia terminology? The bottle-o, its sells bottles, so its a bottle-o !!

Why?

Because that sounds stupid that's why.

An offy is an offy and will always be an OFFY

An offy is daft - sounds like everything they sell in there is OFF! Not really great advertising is it?

Bottle-o indeed

I know that NOW silly noodle, just sounds weird, why is its license off? Shouldn't it be on-license as its open and selling booze?

Bottle-o is far more accurate - it doesn't exactly what it says on the tin, sells bottles!!

Bottle-o is far more accurate - it doesn't exactly what it says on the tin, sells bottles!!

But what is the Bottle-o sells cans as well? Surely it is no longer doing what it says on the tin?

But it also sells things in cans. And crisps and NUTS in bags. And fags, in packets.

"Bottle-o" indeed.

Next you'll be having us call you Sheila, and call everyone regardless of age/sex/gender/anything "mate".

Let's keep the languages separate and the communication barriers as high as possible.

http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html#B will explain everything about the language of Oz.

Example:-

Goog, as full as a : drunk. "Goog" is a variation of the English slangword "goggie" meaning an egg.

Eh?

 

[Hampden Park]

it's called an 'out door' in brum

I am getting scared now....

I'll need something stiff and wet from the BOTTLE-O if this keeps happening...

May I suggest 24 Bows from Bargain Booze for under £10?

Cans are a relatively new invention yes? At least our beer isn't OFF!! Excuse me love I'm just popping out to the Offy - for some off things... Off beer and stuff....

WEIRDOS

And yes Lord B, I have been as full as a googie egg before...quite a common occurence - although in my house usually describes how you feel after you've stuffed yourself full of tea (not dinner) but TEA

 

[CHAPPERS]

Has it replaced the rubbish Unwins? That nwins once won an award for quietist place ever.

I beg to differ.

That Unwins has become a Local, which is part of Thresher Group. Also the corner shop next to the Local seems to be selling booze, so 3 Offy's basically next to each other!!!
