  • Inspired by my Chip Shop thread...

    ...here...

    What about other types of shops and services...?

    Obviously hairdressers and barbers in the UK more often than not have 'punny' names like 'A Cut Above the Rest', 'Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow', 'The Lunatic Fringe' etc...

    But what other businesses are out there?

    Some of the best I can remember seeing include:

    'Spex Appeal', Opticians

    'Austin flowers', Flower Shop

    'Feast of Eden', Restaurant

    Indeed, just yesterday in the small West Wales town of Llandeilo, I saw a great punning advertising slogan for a scaffolding company: "Have an erection with Mono Scaffolding"
    Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

        A barber in my town is named "Hair e' vi" which means "We are here", making a clever (?) pun of the similarity of the words här (here) and hair (which is pronounced the same...)

        Cross-language puns are teh suxx0rz!

                  As long as they don't just colour your hair black and comb it to the side I'm ok with it...
