"Canal Street's portrayal on several popular television programmes, the opening of a number of chain bars, and the resultant influx of "straight" drinkers [has] led to tension with its existing clientele."In short, Canal street is becoming too "normal", which as we all know is synonymous with BORING.
So CANAL Street becomes BANAL street.
B is for Banal!
Weatherproofed with tape because we have The Rain in Manchester. B is also for Business Meetings, which are terribly important.
Essential indeed
Tastefully tartan sticky squares.
Canal Street
Location, location, location
Canal Street
You'd swear it was Amsterdam
Canal Street
Mostly canal this one
Pub
This is Britain so as well as the Gay bars the rest of you have we have Gay pubs. RULE BRITANNIA!
Rejected Target
The Publican might have objected, forcefully.
Rejected Target
Too high
Wait a minute ....
What's back here?
TARGET LOCKED!
The (in)famous Anal Street sign, why didn't I think of this before?!
Preparing the payload
Two of these are supposed to hold up a picture frame so six is overkill.
Ka-CHING!
Done and dusted.

To be fair, the sign had already been OLO'd to "ANAL ST."
caRnal street wouldn't have worked for me as it would have meant squeezing a narrow 'R' between the existing letters and I wanted to maintain the proportions. Besides, Canal Street isn't noticably more carnal than the rest of the nightlife areas of Manchester, and probably less so than the studenty parts.
As I wanted to do something original anal street was never an option since that has been done to death over the years, including removing the 's' as well to make "anal treet"
full five for this because I know exactly how true this is...
Brilliant.
SF0, marking trendy boring plazas for your convenience.
i like that you didn't go for the more obvious Anal St. or Carnal St.
