Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I have just had the MOST hellish journey back from Reading train station to my home - would normally be 10 mins,but took nearly 45 due to dreadful weather,flooding & traffic The dip outside my house is flooded too..... Anyhow, some of the way back I was behind a van emblazoned with the wording 'its gone all funny.com', which is a business doing computer repairs. The name really tickled me & I wondered if you knew of any other amusing company names (although not your own ones,please ) Edit by Sheila; Just a reminder to all, not to get too cheeky with the examples, thanks!

Space Chick Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Our butcher is called James the Butcher, and they do a local home delivery service, and the van is emblazoned with "Home James" which both OH and I think is hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzle Knit Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 What I find amusing is when I'm flicking through the TV channels and it gets to a channel called Yesterday, it's never on, but there is a notice saying "Yesterday will return at 6.ooam" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Each day when I travel to work I usually get stuck in traffic and as I was crawling along the motorway there, at the side of the road, was a portaloo, not that i'd ever fancy using one by this company - Thistle Loo Hire!

chickenanne Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 It's not a company name, but a local business is a bit odd: funeral directors and kitchen fitters. Just an odd combination: joinery? But I don't think they do any coffin making....maybe faulty wiring in the kitchens they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Oh, just thought of another one, there's a shop selling blinds near me, called 'Peter the Pleater'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I didn't know Peter had a shop - he used to be on Romford Market! Lots of dodgy names for chip shops - Oh My Cod! is one and The Codfather is another that springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH has just told me of about half a dozen serious genius saucy ones which I daren't share. Makes you wonder why they pay their marketing departments though. There was a hair salon in Tottenham(?) or Wood Green(?) in London called Curl Up and Dye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
