Russians Must Own This Place.

Here's the sign for a new pub that opened up under Tower Bridge. Its name has two double entendres in Russian. (I think a double double entendre is a triple entendre.) First, "most" is Russian for "bridge". Second, if you read the first letter as a cursive Cyrillic "t" (which looks like an English lower case "m"), then it says "тост", which is the Russian word for "a toast". Also, the "s" is broken up in a way that suggests a Cyrillic "c", which is the letter that would be there either in "bridge" or "toast". Coincidence? Certainly not.

Just wait until I get a job and can apply my paranoid pattern-finding to more important questions...
