Next door to the central fire station in Edinburgh there used to be an optician's shop with his name, Seymour, painted on his gable end.

I used to have a customer who traded as FMB Engineering...
He said it stood for F*** My ole Boots
I think he used to restore Austin Sevens. Ring any bells here? |

"where our prices are sofa king low"
