Originally called Mullard Furniture Industries and was named after the founder's wife, whose maiden name was Mullard.

[Quizmonkey]

Most Flatpacks Infuriate (just as WHSmith stands for Won't Have Smutty Mags In The House).

[rabbits]

[johnlambert]

To me the iniials MFI always sounds like some kind of palimilitary organisation, even though we know it as the flat pack furniture superstore.

I know that I should start a new thread on this, but it is on a tangent with this one: does anyone knows what DFS stands for? I always thought that it was Delivery Furniture Superstore or something...

On the subject of new threads....

DFS stands for Derbyshire Furniture Stores (I worked with the daughter at one time - in Derbyshire - but the "Derbyshire" in the name actually referred to the family surname)
