The Polite Menace T-shirt

Somewhere between the promenade and the chip shop lives this T-shirt. Front and centre is an inquisitive seagull, head cocked with the sort of confidence that suggests it already knows the answer. Above it, the immortal words: GOT ANY CHIPS? A question as old as British seaside towns and shouted with the eyes rather than the mouth.

This is the look of seaside menace rendered in cotton. It captures that exact moment when you’re unwrapping food and sense a presence. The bird isn’t aggressive. It’s polite. Curious. Strategically optimistic. You’ll recognise it immediately, because you’ve been there, clutching vinegar-soaked paper and pretending not to notice.
