    I remember a woman on the UK Dragon's Den wanted to open a blow drying salon called "Blow" (slang for cocaine), took the dragons a while to compose themselves! :D

    right! there is an urban legend that a Limerick employee of Wang, was summoned to head office to explain why "Wang Care" is unsuitable and he had to brief the board of directors in person on why!!! The result was he was promoted!

    I have to say I love the DC Poultry "Poultry in Motion" one.

    Every time I see that van, I smile to myself and it cheers me up.

    About 10 years ago a few of us in work used to ring Lino Ritchies and go
    "Hello............is it me you're looking for" and hang up the phone:P

    The Happy Wok, Chinese takeaway in Swansea.

    Brainwashed, a laundrette in San Francisco.

    The Lost Sock, a laundrette in Edinburgh.

    Filthy McNasties pub in Edinburgh.

    Filthy McNasties in London was Shane McGowans pub. It really is a fitting name and great pub too, well it was when I was last in it 20 odd years ago! :)
