to ask if you’ve seen clever/funny signs advertising a service or similar?

[CloseEncountersOfTheLoveKind]

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.

There’s a tiler in East Lothian called Bonnie Tiler.

In Italy, a toilet hire firm called Veni Vidi WC

There’s a lady near me with a laser hair removal business called Hairless Whisper

In Upton Park there used to be (maybe still is) the original branch of Blossom and Browne’s dry cleaners. They had a 1930s ish sign up which said “Don’t kill your wife with laundry, let us do it” .

In Crouch End or Muswell Hill, I think, years ago- a pizza shop called Star Crust Lovers.

Two very funny business signs:

One in Dorset for an old-established building firm called 'Crumbleholme' and one in Bridgenorth, Shropshire for solicitors or estate agents (can't remember which) called 'Doolittle and Dalley'.

You'd never employ them, would you? I got as far as photographing the signs and meant to send to Private Eye for a tenner, but just never got round to it. In those days sending a photo was a bit beyond my powers.

On a plasterers van along with cartoon Lionel Richie and musical notes for extra effect: "Oh what a feeling when you're putting up a ceiling".

This was one locally that made me smile a few years back 😊

Gardeners can: Tree wise men

Chinese takeaway down the road is called wok and roll.

There is a law firm based in the Midlands called Wright Hassall. (Say it out loud.)

Also saw a poster advertising viagra on my local chemist’s door “Won’t turn you into Sean Connery, but might make you Roger Moore”.

There used to be a shop in Stoke Newington selling white goods called Sell Fridges.

I dont know if the mobile kebab place called Jason's Doner Van is real but it made me laugh when I was told about it.

Also a sewage lorry with 'no stools are left in this vehicle overnight'.

These are great. There used to be a sandwich shop in Middlesbrough called Big Buns always made me laugh when seeing it.

Was it in the small Welsh village of Llareggub?

There used to be (maybe still is) a shop selling door accessories called Knobs & Knockers.

A hairdresser in Nottingham called Public Hair.

There's also a small village in Shropshire called Knockin - guess what their local retail premises is called?!

Tree surgeons near me called WoodFellers!

I’ve also seen an “Only Fools and Hearses” van!

There's a work van near me that I see often that says Paris - New York - Berlin - Matlock (but mostly Matlock, let's be honest)

There's a company who sell Christmas trees outside our local Morrison's every December called We Tree Kings. The only problem is that, when run together, their website looks like it says 'wet reekings' which always makes me think of either stinky, sweaty clothes or noxious farts

An Australian scaffolding company a while back whose slogan was:
"Satisfaction Guaranteed with Every Erection"

Not as good as most of these but noticed a firm has got some scaffolding up on a house near where I work and the company is called vertigo scaffolding.

Sofa King - our sofas are "sofa king good"

Locally there's a sign on a wall next to a car park advertising a cheaper one round the corner.

I do love this fairly recent trend of trade specific cherish plates.
Theres a building comp y near us that has one on every vehicle, but they’re not very exciting. The best was one I saw a couple of years back- a sewerage tanker that had POO as the last three letters.

There’s a bakery company in my area that has named all its trucks in a nice curly font on each cab. Off the top of my head there’s; Breaddy Mercury, Marylin Bunroe, Jennifer Loafez, and Bread Pitt.
