Paid Members John Matrix Posted August 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2014 You can probably tell at this point, i'm really missing "Comments that don't warrant a thread"  I just overhead someone saying they'd booked a room at the "Quality Hotel" which conjours up visions of some sort of brothel desperate to convince you that it's anything but.  It reminded me of my favourite though, a chinese restaurant i once saw in Lincoln called "Legal Food". I mean fuck me, if that dosent immediately convince you you're eating dog meat, there's really no hope.  Funnier still, the night i saw that, i was delivering a presentation to a group of students at Lincoln Uni, and when i told them i'd seen it they said that legend has it it was supposed to be called "Regal Food", but the sign writers mis-heard the old chinaman over the phone. Secondly, was that they'd had a trading standards scare as it was discovered they'd been cooking food in a giant wok full of sperm.  I'm sure neither is even remotely true, but i do love an apocryphal tale.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 28, 2014 There's an Eastern European-run deli that I walk past every day that has a board out side listing all their "Sandviches" - I've never asked but I'm sure that must be an accent misunderstanding typo kinda situation.  Also, The A to Z of Fried Chicken  The UFC one is particularly brilliant.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted August 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2014 PJ Boner is a customer of mine. Misleading more than suspicious, I would imagine. To me that reads "Bedtime Blowy and/or Peddle" The lady who answers the phone each day sounds absolutely demoralised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refused Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 "Chinese Food To Take Away" - hardly inspiring, if they can't even be bothered to come up with a decent name then I imagine they don't put much effort in with the food either.  "Tip Top Chinese Takeaway & Fish & Chips" - Combination takeaways are an abomination, stick to one thing and do it right.

Paid Members John Matrix Posted August 28, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2014 "Tip Top Chinese Takeaway & Fish & Chips"  That is brilliant!! I also love Tip Top. That could just be the owners name to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 There's a local tradesmen whose real name is Paul Raper so his van is nicely kitted out with the word 'Raper' along the side.  Not sure why he doesn't change his name really or at least use a different one for the name of his business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted August 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2014 In my job I regularly come across company names that make me chuckle because they're a good double entendre, but off the top of my head I can't actually recall any belters. I came across one yesterday where I saw a saucy connotation where there wasn't one intended - the young lady had called her bakery business "Enchanted Cupcakes" and this made me giggle for some reason.

Paid Members FLips Posted August 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2014 My old flat was a few doors down from a "Perfect Fried Chicken". It was fucking awful. Across the road we had "The Pizza Shop" which was genius really because it meant any time someone said "do you want to go to the pizza shop?" we'd go to that one.
