The building our flat is in used to be an industrial facility and there is a loading dock in the basement. This was on the doorway. (lemmy.world)

The entire loading dock was empty, so I don't think it was very effective.

Is that Blackburn or 1920s Chicago, you dirty rat?

Fun fact:

Chicago comes from the Algonquin language meaning "stinky onions".

Blackburn comes from the Sooties language meaning "economic decline".

[I feel a bit bad about this comment since it's unnecessarily mean. Horse Botherers are real people too!]

Possibly both, because I don't know that Al Capone was one for calling people twats.
