On consideration, maybe the canopies are the victims of poor spelling and should have been "Carp et Vinyl", as in "Fish and Plastic." Here's a little ditty called "Fish and Paint" that sort of fits the theme.
I'm surprised no-one knows that carpet and vinyl are euphemisms for male and female. But I won't tell you which is which - it's fun watching people going into the wrong bathroom and rushing out again.
Me too, PA. Did you notice it's the Brits who get this one in particular? I didn't get it myself when John took the picture, and I still don't. Don't let anyone tell you we speak the same language.

I'm a rug man, myself.
Oh, God, did I really say that?
those don't look like what the say at all! . . .wondering if tile is just off screen. . .
lol to dive!
Such Western thinking.
What? No wood? Wood with rugs on top is what I prefer.
So does Vinyl have to sit at the back of the bus?
hahaha, Dive!
BD, this is actually a wonderful store. I'll tell you about it in a day or so.
Jean, you're right. Or left. But why categorize?
Speedway, we'll keep that in mind.
Good one, James. Maybe linoleum?
Which the lady, which the tiger?

Surely it would have been "Carpe Vinyl", the Latin for "Seize the plastic!" (Not to be confused with "Trust the plastic!", for Dr. Who fans.)
Hard to say which, the French or the Latin, the lady or the tiger.
Carpet...vinyl...who the heck cares when Ella's singing and the sun is shining???
I bet your choice would be the 'carpet' door :).
I got nothing.
Clowns to th left of me, Jokers to the right...what if prefer wood? What does that make me?
My point, Chieftess. At least now that you put it that way.
LOL, if I only have two choices, I'll choose carpet. But I hope for more choices!
Just your presence is enough, Margaret.
Shiny, Frank. You're shiny. In a good way.
no no no, it is "Carpet MUST match the drapes."!!!
Not "Carpet must match vinyl!".
Yes, my mind is running along with dive and Speedway...gutterball...
