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 work in a jewellers and we’ve recently had to start charging people to measure their ring size if they are not looking to buy a ring (or at least pretending to). My colleague wanted to put a sign in the window that said ‘£5 a Finger!’ Confused

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

WC in Fields is a moderately amusing name for a portable toilet hire company, and I did see once a floor fitter's van with "Lino Richie" branding. But it was a while back and I am not sure that would have the same reach today for choice of floor covering or music!

Some amusement also to be found with scaffolding companies and the crowbarring of erection into their name

I was told about an outdoor equipment shop in Market Bosworth (near Bosworth battlefield, where Richard III met his demise) that had a glorious sign in its window a few years ago advertising the winter sale: "Now is the winter of our discount tents".

Don't know whether it's true or not, but funny anyway.

Old record shop call vinyl Ritchie and a portable fish and chip van called friar truck.

I remember a sign on a builders merchants near where my late DM lived years ago. It said 'We can help you with any erection'. I did often wonder how they got away with it! 😂

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

As a plant based eater, I love that quote.
Gonna have to incorporate it into conversations when meat eater try to make me feel less than them just coz I don’t eat like them.

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

Clever 🥰

Oh I’ve seen a similar one that said “This is the discount of our winter tents”, which was a nice version.

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.

Can't remember the place name, but on a minor road I drove past a church with a motorway exit sign saying 'Mumsville services'.
