Simon De Montfort, having been defeated and killed by Royalists, his body mutilated and his extremities distributed among his enemies as trophies, faces the final indignity: T.K. Maxx. Leicester, April 2017.
This will cause an extra parallel-universe cognitive glitch for my American friends, and I am excited for that to happen here
I’m amused to see Elodie’s addition, because yes, that is exactly what happened.
(Me, upon seeing this picture: ”–wait what? What???”
Me, upon scrolling down just enough to see the original caption: “You mean that’s not even what the picture is supposed to be about?”)
But why would they even–
‘The company modified the name to T.K. Maxx to avoid “confusion with the established British retail chain T J Hughes (which is not affiliated with TJX)”‘
Ah, okay.
(…wait, but if it’s not called that in Britain, why is there a bit in a Jasper Fforde book that goes like this:
“You imprisoned her in a clothing store?”
“It’s not really a clothing store; that’s just the cover story. Temporal Jail, Maximum Security. Didn’t you ever wonder why it was called TJ Maxx?”)
