London, March 22 : A florist has an embarrassing problem to deal with – her new shop just won’t let go of its past of trading in sex toys.

Clare Ross would try to scrape off the letters on the windows of her Willows flower shop every morning in Reigate, Surrey.

But the “ghostly” letters of licensed sex shop would return to the same spot the next day.

"We have done everything we can to get rid of it but it just won''t go,” the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

"Every day it''s back. I knew this place had been a sex shop but it was completely empty when we took it over. There were no signs of its past at all.
