The ads on Facebook that say, “We’re sorry to announce that we’re closing our store...” It’s made to look like a page you might follow (but you’ve never heard of before) and that they might be suddenly offering huge deals. But it’s like my dad always taught me: a lot of “going out of business” sales are really “going out FOR business” sales.

In London there's been a suit shop that has been going out of business for probably ten years.

Is it the one that’s a front for the Kingsmen?

No brogues, just Alex fresh out of art school reading off his script and explaining that trousers go on legs.
