Okay friends, I need some help from you that are better at English than I. Since some time now, my wife is planning on renewing her sandwich bar. A restart as it may. So we already have a new concept and some good ideas on how we want to rebuild and fresh up the place. I've been working on a new name and logo for it. I wanted something simple yet catchy and I came up with this:  "Tally" is the nickname her parents gave Chantal... I just want to know if the sentence at the end is somewhat 'correct' English... What do you guys think? (BTW, Chantal loves it  )------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

I like it, good name and love the clear, easy to read logo. Slogan sentence is correct. Like Kevin said, as long as nobody objects to calling them subs in the store name and clubs in the slogan. In case I ever make it to Belgium, is there a CCFan discount? ------------- '63 American Skier - '98 Sport Nautique |

is it a sub ? grinder ? hero? Hoagy? a club is 3 pieces of bread with bacon ,cheese , turkey ham roast beef of tuna for the filling. The question you ask would be answered differently by members depending on their location in the states.. New england is a sub formerly a grinder never a hoagy only a hero if we are making fun of someone from away. ------------- former skylark owner now a formula but I cant let this place go |

a tally can also be a tick mark or incremental numbering tool, so you could play on that, something like, where the sandwiches always get full marks. or, taste the high score. or, a delicious notch above the rest. and for God's sake don't listen to Lewy, down with beetroot ------------- bring the ruckus http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5347" rel="nofollow - 2000 Pro Air |

I have owned a wholesale meat company for 38 years. The guys that were successful made a great sandwich for a good value, "slogans" did not matter. Quality. Quantity and price. And believe it or not, "price" did not mean cheap, it meant fair value. Good Luck with it! ------------- Js |

If you're gonna go with a slogan I like this one better than what you have IMHO. Just like any Mom and Pop sandwhich shop the great service and how good the food is will sell the business. Most times that I have found, it's the little hole in the wall restaurants that have the best food in town. Best of luck Chantal! ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Thanks for the input guys! Well, the slogan was just me playing around (because in Belgium they will only know what subs are due to the fact that they heard that from the Subway shops here and people know the word 'club sandwich' from TV shows or movies)... We would just go for the logo. And on the subject of quality and price. Chantal's shop exists for about 21 years now and she is renowned for her quality (and fair prcies for that matter). So that is covered  It's just that after so many years, we need to fresh up the whole concept a bit...

The whole club sandwich thing reminds me of a classic Mitch Hedberg routine about sandwiches. You could say: "If you love a great sandwich, join our club" https://youtu.be/lmGJq2n-io8" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/lmGJq2n-io8 |

I left the whole subs vs clubs thing alone, thinking we don't necessarily know what that call what kind of sandwiches in Belgium, but if they are just using words they hear on American TV shows, maybe we need to clarify to Kristof what Hollywood is saying and why mixing subs and clubs doesn't make sense. Kristof, over here any way, a "sub" is a "submarine" sandwich. Long role. Also called grinder, hero. A "club" is typically a multi-layer sandwich (i.e top bread-bottom bread and typically a slice in the middle, of regular flat slices of bread, with meat and lettuce and tomatoes, spread out in the two layers. So pretty much different than a "sub". Hence, Hollywood's comments on we're not really turning subs into clubs. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Whenever I hear Club, I first think of a wooden baseball bat like object. And, what's a Gyro ? Is a Gyro just another spelling of Hero ? And, I like a good slogan, it helps correlate the product to the memory.

Pete, I believe a "hero" is a regional name for a submarine sandwich or sub. a gyro ("yee - ro"} is a Greek item. Flat bread, folded around lamb with lettuce and tomato and some kind of creamy sauce. A favorite of mine....when done right. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Not to be a PITA but the flatbread on a Gyro is Pita Bread. I love a good Gyro too. There's a spot right in town where Quinner (and I) live that slices the Olympia Gyro Company Lamb meat "wheel of meat" after cooking in in the usual standard rotisserie and then to really make it great, they flash broil it in a hot oven to make the edges nice and crispy. For more details on our favorite sandwich: http://www.olympiagyros.com Amazingly good considering like hot dogs, one simply does not want to know what goes into it. |

The better question is how is it pronounced. I say Ji-row, with a long I like in kite because I know how to read.

"Tally ho" actually comes from 17th century France ('taïaut') where it was shouted to round up the dogs to hunt deer. In WWII, British pilots used it to radio that they spotted enemy aircrafts. It was also the motto of the famous WWII BRAF 609 squadron. Nowadays it is also used in England during fox hunting. ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |
