Where I live there’s a Harold’s right next to a Maude’s.

“I always imagined it would be a joint venture, not next-door competing eateries.”

Mario’s is a bakery. Luigi’s is a kebab joint (though they serve other food as well, I’m told). Not much in the way in the way of direct competition, unless some kid can’t decide between cake or birthday kebabs (which may or may not have come up when I lived there).

Luigi’s kebabs are so potent you have to wear bright yellow safety gear to tackle them. It is also advisable to have a big metal thing on a pole to fend them off if they get a bit frisky.

I live in Manchester and I’ve been past here before. The first time I saw it I chuckled, but now I’ve seen it so much I’m used to it.

Not only is it incredible they are next to each other, but the fact that Mario’s is red, Luigi’s is green, and Luigi’s is just a little bit taller is almost eerie.
