Pub in Copenhagen called 'The Tit Inn'...

"Tit ind" in Danish means to have a quick look inside, which somehow makes it even funnier

In about 1985-6, in Exeter (UK) there was 2 shops next door to each other, one called Willy's and the other Fanny's. I think Willy's was a surfing equipment shop, and Fanny's may have been a hairdresser.

There's a tiler in Dublin called "The Bonny Tiler"

I think the van might mention something about 'holding out for a hero'

There is a chain of Ice Cream Parlours in Vietnam called Fanny Ice Cream.

Also in Hanoi happened across a shop called COCK which sold crocheted cocks (of the feathered variety)

The slogan in the window read TRY COCK TODAY PLEASE The woman inside the shop said lots of people came to take photos of the window displaybut not so many people bought cocks.

Saw on the back of a van that advertised upholstery services.

"We do 3 types of work Cheap - Quick - Great

You can have any two."

Quite cryptic, had me thinking for a while
