Passersby on St Mary's Street in Weymouth may have noticed that something is different about the Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food restaurant.

Namely that the K - which stands for Kentucky - was missing.

Staff arriving at 6am to open the restaurant noticed the sign had been damaged, finding the K strewn on the ground.

Dorset Echo: KFC in Weymouth is missing its K

A staff member believes, based on precedent, that the damage was done by a delivery truck. He said: "When we started this morning we came in to work to find the K on the floor, so it must have happened very early hours.

"It was hit by a delivery truck, nothing more, nothing less.

"Four times in the past a delivery truck too big for the street has demolished our sign.

"It will most likely be fixed this week. Can't have it like that for long."

The lone K is currently housed in the shop's bin room.
