The message
from raden contains these words:

No, it's Valliant ...

according to the rather large window display for Gas Mk1 in Watford

Sounds like the pub in Uxbridge that had "Fosters Larger" on a big
banner across the front.

Or like the down-market resteraunt that advertised 'Cock Fosters' ...
it's like Coq au vin';- only it uses lager.


Reminds me of the bottle of wine that had French and English on the label.
The English translation contained the immortal words "Drink with cock in
wine".

Or two marketing disasters I remember in Germany,

Cusson's "Irisher Mist"

and

"Irisher Mist" liqueur

as mist means manure (or ****) in German, you can imagine how successful
they were
