11 cake makers and 4 wax melters within a mile of my house. I did cheat and search for them tho. Who knew there were that many 🤯

Freelance accordian music, I kid you not!

We used to have a corn in a cup seller. Wish he'd come back - so yummy!

a life coach, a paint place, and a magician

We have a dog spa, a fire extinguisher consultant, a 'secret society for dogs' (?!?!?!), and a private investigator.

Oh and we used to live next to a lovely couple who were professional oom-pa band musicians! I could hear them practising and it never failed to cheer me up, hard to feel sad with oom-pa.

Mine says there's a BetFred betting shop just around the corner. We live in a rural village and the property in question is a house in a residential street, so I'm a bit mystified at that one!
No wax melt sellers showing though - although there are undoubtedly some 'businesses ' of that type going by the local Facebook pages.

We have similar, mine says there is a Topshop at the end of my road. There most certainly isn't, it's a very quiet residential street in a village. My satnav always tells me to 'turn right at topshop'.

Quite a few massage/beauty therapy places. I assume they’ve either made a home salon in a spare room/garden shed or they are mobile. A few painter/decorators. An Avon seller. Gyms (maybe PT’s?), hanging basket seller.

Thai massage and a screwfix Confused

I have an international psychic neighbour. Still had to tell her that I'd got her husband's post. (Rural)

My teen son told me that it’s a trend for youngsters to register random fake businesses on Google maps…

Rockbird · 20/08/2022 02:27

Only a dog walker near by. But our house is tagged with a business that DH started about 120 years ago which never made a penny and he's now forgotten about. But not the business he currently runs Hmm

I am 22 miles from a cupcake seller and 56 miles from any wax melts!

Weenurse · 20/08/2022 09:44

Wentworth Detention centre!
I live near television studios

I have a bagpiper!

FatherDougalsBlueJumper · 20/08/2022 11:50

Ha, fascinating. I live in a tiny hamlet. I knew about the post office but had no idea about the hiking shoes seller or the Alpaca farm!

lackadaisicalsheep · 20/08/2022 15:58

There is a harpist a few doors down from me, I never knew that before!

BryceQuinlanTheFirst · 20/08/2022 16:20

No wax melts but three tech companies in my appartment block alone!

A wax melt seller will be an MLM bot. Not a real business. Ditto Aloe Vera consultants, Avon ambassadors and Cambridge Diet gurus.

Scentsy
Utility Warehouse
Avon
Neals Yard
InteleTravel

got them all round here

Changenameobviousreasons · 20/08/2022 16:31

I have a "husband for hire" 😂😂😂😂

WhereDoesThisToiletGo · 20/08/2022 16:33

I live just beyond the outskirts of a small village, with a good footpath network round the area.
It was only when I google mapped one walk that I discovered that we have a nudist club 800 yards away.
The satellite view is blurry!

Maggiesgirl · 20/08/2022 16:37

Mainly gardeners and dog walkers although there is a Virtual Assistant as well. Couple of garages which must be just behind their houses. Couple of Ltd Companies as well.

Marvellousmadness · 20/08/2022 16:44

Secret society for dogs 🤣
