Shouldn't that sign read Goodwyn's Furniture Ltd?
I had too much time on my hands today. When I saw this meme, I couldn't tell if the sign they were making fun of was real of a PhotoShop edit. So ... due to the excessive amount of free time I had on hand today ... I googled that address and shop name (used Google Maps). Sure enough, it is real. In England somewhere. The place looks more rundown (or shut down) now than in the meme picture. I "drove" around the roads in the area using Google Maps street view. Kind of a drab part of England IMHO.
After visiting England to see Goodwyns Furniture, I went and played my "identify the country by it's silhouette" game. ( https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/ ) That country was Vanuatu today (I got it on my second guess!) In the South Pacific. So off I went on another internet quest to see some pictures of the place and to read and learn a bit about the country. Not a rich or highly developed country, but some neat looking areas. There were some military bases there during WWII. One cool picture from Vanuatu during the war:

Vanuatu has some pretty beaches too:

I told you I had too much time on my hands today! Tomorrow is scheduled to be a lot busier.

There once was a man named Santini,
who spilled gin on his weenie.
Being uncouth, he added vermouth
and gave his wife a martini.
