To not shop somewhere because of the shop name?

[Allabouts]

Picture attached.

I was passing on my way to an event with my DS this morning and saw this.

I wouldn't step foot in there with a name like that!

Do people not think these things through?

Fat Boy's Café near me is very busy, to be fair it's not full of elegant ladies.

CEX is 'Cheques' right?!

Set foot, not step foot.

Ah, ok, it is a bed shop.

I think it's pretty funny.

When l was at secondary school in the early 80’s we weren’t allowed to take Virgin carrier bags into school😂

I quite like Blotchy Cankles, it sounds like something from Harry Potter!

I don't know if it's still going, but there used to be a clothing chain (think Topshop/Miss Selfridge style) in Australia called... Jizz.

Isn’t the Harry Enfield character called spudulika?

The dog grooming place near my mum and dad’s is called Doggy Style. Never got why they thought that was a good idea!

I've occasionally seen 'Fucker' tour buses passing through my town, always a sight to behold! From Germany I think?

I don't think they ever make it to the UK though .

I got a generic email from a clothes shop I've used in the past for dsd clothes which started with the words Hey hun! I unsubscribed immediately.

CEX is just See-Ee-Ex surely?
I’ve always just said the letters

Near my MIL’s there is a dress agency called Sophie’s Choice which makes me sad every time I see it.

There’s also a web design agency called The Website Warehouse - websites what work. You cannot sacrifice grammar just to get your “www” initials in!!

I keep seeing vans for a franchise around here called Snap-On.

I always think it says Strap-On.

I guess that says more about me than the franchise...

@Sidge 😁😁😁😁

CEX is 'Cheques' right?! Is it! I'm still non the wiser

I've occasionally seen 'Fucker' tour buses passing through my town, always a sight to behold! From Germany I think? Is it Focker, like the films Meet the Fockers.

I saw a plumber's van for A1 Plumbers, with the legend 'Number one for number twos".

Beneath the driver's side window was a graphic of a man's body with his pants round his ankles sitting on the loo. It looked like the driver was sitting on the bog.

CeX is pronounced sex.

I'm sure the shop in question will be devastated by your lack of custom

fruityb is it called legal food because sometimes some Chinese people pronounce the letter R with an L sound and It's actually Regal food and it became nicknamed Legal iyswim?

I drove past a restauranbt called "La Poubelle" the other day. Funnily enough I was not tempted.

I haven't shopped in Waterstone's since they dropped their apostraphe

There used to be a shop near us called

BED'S, SOFA'S, MATTRESSE'S

@vitalogy Nope, definitely Fucker.

Fokker is Dutch so not that unusual here in Holland

I used to work at Fat Face - it's named after the La Face ski slope in France, and when the company started in the 80's apparently a standard ski bum descriptive was 'phat' which they converted to Fat for reasons unknown.

Until about 9/10 years ago it was aiming to be the UK equivalent of Quiksilver or O'Neill, even sponsored a few skiers/surfers and people from other extreme sports. Obviously its target demographic is somewhat different these days (and stuff is considerably more boring than it used to be)

my personal favourites are Fat Willy's Surf Shack and the Phat Phuc restaurant in Chelsea
