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?

I have just googled it and apparently it's isn't retirement flats but affordable housing flats. Still

I don't like the idea of Sweaty Betty...

We have this shop up the road...

My friend came over from Spain with a pair of jeans on from “YRB, Yellow Rat Bastard”!

There's a sandwich/jacket potatoe shop in our town called Fatso's. (Lovely sandwiches)
There's a large company round here (haulage I think) called Van Hee.

There was a window cleaners near us called Window Lickers . There’s a clothing brand called Arseholes I believe.

YY to the PP reminding me of Athlete's Foot, a trainer/sportswear shop on the continent.

Other than shops, Leicester's community bus is the Beaver Bus and used to ride around showing the immortal words...

There was a shop in Izmir (Turkey) called Miss Karaj....
It sold women’s clothes. I had to explain to my Turkish ddil why I was astounded..
Mind you the biggest Turkish electrical gods chain is Arcelik (actually pronounced Archerluk) which reduced me to immature giggles whenever I saw it.
Now I am more accustomed to the language I quite miss the fun of a walk down the high street.

Arcelik my favourite

@woder haha u no about fat boys cafe

I knew a used car dealer whose surname was Rustie and who traded as Rustie Cars. People laughed but they looked and if they liked the car they bought it. It worked for him!

@Eliza9917 so it's a mix of French and Yorkshire?! I'm so confused! Is it Fillayuhfeesh?

Most importantly. I've never ordered one due to the naming confusion. What do they taste like???!

PMSL at "Ride the Beaver"

I could understand it if it was another country where beaver didn't have the same alternative meaning as it does here but it's in the UK! Surely there must have been sniggers around the board room table when that was decide upon?

I have ordered a few filley-oh-fish in my time but always cringed when saying it!

They are like a very soft, squishy, round fish finger in a very soft squishy bun. They taste OK - basically like a fish finger sandwich.

@Nakedavenger74

I just go by how they told us to say it when I worked there in 6th form.

I suppose it was more like Filley'o'fish.

No one cares about pronunciation in Mcdonald's, just order an try one, they are lovely. Not particularly filling though.

That's true they don't fill you up. If you're hungry you need two, or lots of chips.

Is the Happy Nightmares Chinese-owned? We have lots of similarly named businesses where I am, you get used to it.

I would shop in You Look Fucking Lovely. Imagine the conversation:

Friend: I like your dress, where's it from?
Me: You Look Fucking Lovely.
Friend: Um, thanks, but where's your dress from?!
And repeat

There are two French brands that make me grind my teeth (yes, I know I'm overreacting):
Best Mountain - how can there be a best mountain? It's stupid, and I hate it.
My Pant's - oh god, that fucking apostrophe.

I also hate FCUK for its twelve year old snigger snigger, ooh, look, a swear.
And I don't buy Diesel because I hate their stupoid ad campaigns so much.

My favourite dress is denim from Fatface on Euston station. I'd been looking for an everyday dress and they had exactly what I wanted!

I once passed a shop called Hitler's Cabbages.

I am clearly not very mature.

This is a shop where I live, pass it every day on the way to work and it still makes me chuckle.

"You Look Fucking Lovely" has to be the best shop name I've ever heard of Possibly the best thing I've ever heard

I refuse to buy anything from Stormfront. I don't know who told them that it was a good idea. I almost choked on my coffee when I saw the shop irl.
