A coffee shop in South London has been ordered to remove its ‘offensive’ sign by the landlord.
F***offee in Bermondsey Street tweeted a picture of a letter sent by lawyers threatening to destroy the sign if they did not remove it.
Acting on behalf of the buildings owners, the legal letter said: “We are instructed that you have either erected or allowed your sub-tenant to erect an offensive sign on the exterior of the building…without the permission or authority of our client and this constitutes a trespass.
“If you or your sub-tenant do not immediately remove the sign above the property shop front ‘F***offee’, and make good any damage caused to the exterior of the building, our client will have no option but to remove the sign themselves or issue court proceedings seeking an injunction requiring you to remove the sign.”
F***offee posted the photograph alongside the caption: “No humour please, we’re British.”
The legal action comes following complaints from local residents.
