Acceptable as late as the 90s in Norn Iron apparently.
I remember in our 2nd year student house, one person dropped out so we left it to the Ulster lad to make one of those A4 photocopied adverts for a housemate (as you did then) and stick them all over campus noticeboards.
His description of the local amenities: “Bus stop, The Maudslay pub, Safeway and Chinky nearby” 🤦♂️
