The TEFL Don said...: Hilda I love some of our local advertising signs. The ones in English(Thinglis) usually are a laugh.
Now you've given me an idea for a mini-series.

In slang English(regional to my part of UK) you could read your sign as "working."; March 17, 2010 10:13 AM

A wonderful Wednesday for you all.; March 17, 2010 10:13 AM

LOL at the video and song!

James & Vernz:
Groan! Those are a hundred times worse than Wok Inn! Hahahahaha!

Chuck & Birdman:
Yes, the name's quite common in many English-speaking countries. Google it and you'll see it all over. :)

Leif:
No, I am not laughing! That's horrible! Especially since there are still people who do eat dog here in the Philippines and in other Asian countries. :(; March 18, 2010 7:33 AM
