Businesses with funny names/slogans.

Flower/card shop in Havant.
Havant Forgotten

(been gone for ages)

The local coalman used to have 'Grate service' painted on his wagon. One of Seaton Carew's fish and chip shops is called 'The Almighty Cod', the other is 'Fish Face' (they are both rather good too, if you are in the area ).

I can remember walking down a street in Blackpool about 5 years ago and seeing a B&B that had 'newly refurbished for 1974' on a banner underneath it's name.

Not the best tag line I've ever seen!

 

[Passenger John]

Saw this one in Gloucestershire

 

[The North Briton]

That reminds me of a pizza/fish and chip takeaway in Goole called 'The Godfather'. Because the sign was in Gothic lettering, I though for years they had called it 'The Codfather'!

 

[backontrack]

What about The Knockin Shop in Knockin, near Oswestry?

 

[Tetchytyke]

We had Mother Cookers cafe in Bradford, but sadly they went bust. Mystery why.

We also used to have this barbers shop in Wallsend

 

[EssexGonzo]

We've got Peter the Pleater in Brentwood. Blinds and curtains.

Hairdressers are the best/worst for punny names- things like "Curl Up & Dye" etc.

My local gymnasium boss is called Kim, so they play on that, with a slogan which goes:

"To get fit at Jim's Gym, call 0785......."

Not particularly funny, but I always have a little giggle when i see it.

Does Jim work for Kim in Kims Jim's gym?

Saw one in Walkley, Sheffield, but apparently there's a few. In the same area a Chinese called "Wok this Way".

There was a Chinese in Doncaster called "Wok'n'Roll", though after it got closed due to hygene issues maybe "A-Wok-alypse Now" would've been more appropriate.

Here's a Blind Man, in Berwick on Tweed ...

Seen today in Cornwall, a van outside a building undergoing refurbishment bearing the name 'Muddy Mortars'. Quite brightened the day for this old R&B fan.

If I ever owned a medical supplies company I would call it Enema Agents.

You could have a mobile colonic irrigation service on a converted open top bus called 'Public Enema Number 1'.

I'd park it at Land's End in order to confuse the tourists.

I saw a dry cleaners in Goring/Streatley. Thames Valet.

wrt enemas: Someone suggested that a psychiatrist and proctologist could go into joint practice as "Odds and Ends"

In a similar vein, a chippy in Barmouth goes by the name of Carousal. The letters are bright and colourful, but the C has been put up intentionally crooked (like it's falling off) so you don't notice it the first time you read the sign...

Window cleaner in Aviemore

Chinese takeaways are the gift that keeps on giving with funny names.
There is one in Lincoln called Man Ho, and another called Legal Food.

...a Chinese called "Wok this Way".

There was a Chinese in Doncaster called "Wok'n'Roll", though after it got closed due to hygene issues maybe "A-Wok-alypse Now" would've been more appropriate.

I recall long ago, a Chinese takeaway in south-east London, whose name gave me a smile: "Lok How Fook". Patronised particularly by voyeurs, one would suspect...

From Brussels ... *chortle*

I wonder if Companies House allowed the registration of "Norfolk & Good Limited"?

Thanks for the help

Or a cutlery shop owned by Mr Watt called "Watt the Fork"

Does he sell the fork handles as well?

I always used to enjoy ringing one company, which still exists in Bognor Regis, just for the welcome from the pleasant and cheery receptionist, "Wayne Kerr"

 

[PaxVobiscum]

From Kilmarnock, there's "Lomond Soils - for loam and soils"; from Glasgow there's "Natural born Drillers" and I have seen a lorry on the M74 full of portable toilets hired from Owen Pugh.

 

[GatwickDepress]

Hastings has a local firm called William the Concreter!
