You would be doing a great social service, if you can print the names of saloons and shops selling or using these expired goods/
You could also do a great social service if you blocked any comments that use “saloon” when they mean “salon”.
I was mighty disappointed when I arrived here in the early 90s and thought I was seeing bars on every corner.
I’ve got to admit that I’m kinda amused by the use of “saloon” for “salon” out here. There is even a men’s barber in Satwa that has actual saloon doors.
It’s one of the quirky mutations of the English language that happens in places where English may not be the first language of many people. Except that I have taken to calling my salon a “saloon”. I may have to break that habit when I leave the UAE and return to the west!
Presumably the wild west?
