The only 'pop up' enterprises round our way are blokes selling Bic Lighters three for a pound or pirate DVDs out of a suitcase.

Modern day pop up pirates indeed!

I heard a BBC3 documentary once, on hairdressing puns. It seems to attract more puns than any other sector, according to the documentary author!

My favourite is the tanning shop in Leeds 'Tanz in ere.'

On a related note, why do video shops often double up as tanning shops?

I can't hear the phrase without thinking of the psycho killer in Wolf Creek.

"...ya nivah know where oi moight...pop-ahp!"

Grin Tanz in ere. MN does not have the emoticons for how much I love that.

I'd prefer Tan-Go. I'm pale and interesting, innit.
