    ...which shop in Britain has the most branches nationwide? I bet there's one in YOUR high street too!

    (pd is barred from answering on the grounds that I already told him!:D)

    ???

    Unless it is a play on the word 'branches' and something cryptic, I would guess a betting shop chain?

    andi :m2:

    This is an actual fact, not a cryptic puzzle or anything. No play on branches. And no, not a betting shop chain.

    NoCelebrity Aye lad, I knew you had it in you

    It just seems like every corner in America...

    Starbucks or McDonalds?

    Guess what, Steve?

    That is the wrong answer! (And how many have a PO in their high street now? Even Postman Pat has had to move, and Walford's has closed.:biggrin:)

    I'll take a punt on Oxfam.

    Not Starbucks, McDonalds or Oxfam! When I first heard this, I thought Boots or WH Smith, but neither. When I then found what it was I didn't believe it, but since have been on the look-out and blimey, they ARE everywhere!

    Western Union? UPS? Mecca in a box? (for lack of a real name)

    Tesco? or maybe the co-op?

    With the number of Metros and Express's springing up, you might think it'd be Tesco, but no, nor Co-op.

    I will give a clue though, it is food related!:wink:

    critch Aye lad, I knew you had it in you

    food related and probably one down my street...... chippy?

    Remember it's a branch name you're looking for. And no, they don't do chips!
