Five, so far

The owner of a little antique and ornament shop in Northern Ireland looks up at the brand new sign above the shop entrance. It reads, NIK-NAKS: THIS AND THAT. The shopkeeper, however, isn't too happy with the result. He ponders (complete with accent):
If only I had left more space between 'THIS' and 'AND', and 'AND' and 'THAT'.
I've heard there are ways of getting even more consecutive ands in a sentence. Answers on a postcard.
