Best pub/ shop names ever!

[honeybeeq]

Doing some research on the house we're moving to and it's very near to a pub called.. the Malt Disley!

I love it!! I'm having a bitch of a time with the letting agent and this house is very worth it but aibu to ask you to cheer me up with funny shop/ pub names?

A chip shop called Frying Nemo.

We also have a septic tank truck near us painted yellow called the stool bus

I was scanning old property advertisements at work and there was a flat above a dog groomers called Doggy Style. Probably not around now seeing as the paperwork was from 2005.

I remember seeing a van in Norwich once with G W Bush & sons, wholesale butchers. Swear i was not hallucinating!!

Norwich was in those days also home to the Creamy & Crusty bakery, and Bob Basted Second Hand Cars. Really hope they are still going!!

@WishingOnABar either there's another Sofa King or you live near me! I pass a Sofa King Cheap sign when I walk home from work

Chippy - Oh my Cod

Not a pub or a shop - but there’s a local business near me who do scaffolding, and the slogan on their vans say: “we give only the best erections”

Love this thread! Still working my way through, but wanted to add

Second-hand white goods place: Sellfridges (vampire, this one was in north London – maybe they branched out/moved; lovelymug, maybe we're talking about the same one?).

On holiday, a Thai restaurant called Thai Me Up.

Oh, and on here recently someone said there was a gift-type shop in Penge called Penge Tout (you say it so it's like 'Mange Tout' – there's a local joke pronunciation for Penge because it's becoming posher)

dietcoke, 'Klaize' is so funny

bumble, that reminded me of the clothes shop Touching Cloth in Brick Lane in London.

The Chipping Forecast

Not funny as such but there are four pubs called “The Little Black Boy” within 10 miles of me.

Always wondered what that was about

Flosist in MK called Back to the Fuchsia

Local company empties home cess pits with a tanker lorry saying You Dump We Pump

This is a company near us, I see it all the time on the school run

Just Falafs

We also have a septic tank truck near us painted yellow called the stool bus

That's hilarious disgusting!

@Smeaton thanks! I had no idea they went back so far

Bride and Prejudice - wedding dress shop

There is (or was) a Sunburnt Arms in Los Cristianos, Tenerife, as well as the one mentioned by a PP.

There's a Dandy Cock pub in Disley as well - pure filth round there, I'm telling you

Oh, and near me I see a van with "Dave's Rubbish Removals" on the side. I've not been able to work out whether he actually removes rubbish, or whether he's the last bloke you should ring if you're moving house....

the stool bus

This has me absolutely howling

Anus Kitchen.

I shit you not.

Poor guy with an unfortunate name and no punctuation.

Smeaton I remember the old sign outside The Black Boy in Killay but I think it's now been changed to a boy down the mines. I don't pay much attention to it when I drive past as I'm concentrating on avoiding the pot holes .

Best thread ever 😂

Tiler in dublin called Bonnie Tiler

Pub in Ireland called M.T. Pockets
