Hi, I was our shopping etc, and I saw a van that said that refrigeration services were available.

”007 REFRIGERATION.. licensed to chill”

It made me smile, and it got me wondering if any others had spotted an eye catching slogan.

I like a sign near me that says "LITTERING LINKED TO LOW IQ"

FuzzyPuffling · 28/04/2026 08:11

A shop near me,
"Veggie Perrins...I didn't get where I am today by eating meat"

I am guessing you are in Plymouth too, unless there is more than one veggie perrins 😁

Several years ago Milletts had a sign “Tis the winter of our discounted tents” which I thought was great.

We were away a number of years ago, possibly Edinburgh, and a gully emptier passed us with the website address of wemoveshit.co.uk (or something similar).
It made us laugh

There is a farm shop near us with a butchers counter. The front door has a poster of Lionel Ritchie captioned "Hello, is it meat you're looking for?"

darksideofthetoon · 28/04/2026 12:28

Seen a butchers shop with a sign that read, ‘I LIKE PIGS BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE!’

A plumber's van with a picture of a tap saying
"Don't sleep with a drip...call me instead"

Great Ex-PEST-Ations for a pest controller 😂

A cess pit emptying company near me called SuckCess....
And a dog walking company called Ultimutt..

Aberdyfi · 28/04/2026 12:57

I always enjoy the all female plumbers firm. It’s called Stopcocks.

Mr Chambers of Guildford has a portable toilet hire (for festivals and similar) called Chamber Pots.

A builders van driven by an Asian man that said ‘You’ve tried the cowboys, now try the Indians’.

On window cleaners van Mr Bit

1AnotherOne · 28/04/2026 13:08

A couple of work vans. There’s a window cleaner near me with a van in the Only Fools & Horses logo - his company name is Only Poles & Hoses.

another van ‘The Singh Builders’ with a slogan underneath ‘you’ve hired cowboys - now try the Indians’ 😂 loved that one

MagpiePi · 28/04/2026 13:11

Not really an advertising slogan but the other day I was behind a window cleaner's van that had a sticker saying 'No Fairy Liquid left in this van overnight' which made me smile.

Blarn · 28/04/2026 13:17

We drove past a church the other day with a sign up saying 'seven days without prayer makes one weak'. I loved that, I hope they have congregation who were drawn to their pun based preaching.

honeylulu · 28/04/2026 15:21

I've remembered another one. The lingerie shop Agent Provocateur in the Royal Exchange used to have a sign up when they had a sale on saying "KNICKERS DOWN" .

Threesloths · 28/04/2026 15:23

Planet Turf

PrincessHoneysuckle · 28/04/2026 15:28

Not a shop but I walked past a regular house called Fookem Hall once.

ChubbyLubby · 28/04/2026 15:30

Where I grew up there was a fried chicken shop called "Kent Tuck-In Fried Chicken". It was not in Kent. It was near Wolverhampton. I think KFC were actually trying to sue them. Not sure what happened.

There's a decorator round by me now who has his van all done up like a policy van and has "NYPD" emblazoned on the side. Underneath it says "North Yorkshire Painting and Decorating".

A local gym had an ad saying "Fed up of being fat an ugly? Just be ugly" followed by the gym details.

Snooks1971 · 28/04/2026 16:10

Growing up there was a Chinese takeaway called Wok This Way. It was in the 90s so not long after the song by Run DMC and Aerosmith.
