libertine Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Stockport has a factory with a big sign for Universal AIDS Ltd. Â I'm sure it's a bogus story, but supposedly a bloke in Manchester changed his name to Ken Tucky so he could open a fried chicken shop without being sued. I know there is a McTucky Fried Chicken in Manchester, there is also a Rythym and Booze Off Licence in Doncaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insert_name_here Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 There's a shop in Newcastle that's called The 'Potato and Egg' shop which is either genius or shite, i haven't decided yet. I remember there was a chippy in Sunderland called Clems which always raised a giggle. Â EDIT: I realize i'm going off-topic here but i figure this is the place to share this one They've been in business for years and i remember going in a while ago and picking up loads of old PSOne games for 50p each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members John Matrix Posted August 29, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2014  I remember there was a chippy in Sunderland called Clems which always raised a giggle  This made me laugh because i can imagine you laughing at it every time you walked by - it's exactly what i'd do, in fact i am, just reading the word Clems.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2014 I don't get why that's funny? Â I don't get what is at all remarkable about that Rock Bottom one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2014 There's a Kebabby in Cardiff (Cathays?) called Chicago Bulls. This baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2014 Ha. That reminds me of a steak house I saw in a tiny little village in Italy that had appropriated the Chicago Bulls logo for outside their restaurant. I love stuff like that.

Paid Members John Matrix Posted August 29, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2014 I don't get why that's funny?  I'm not entirely sure it is, it just sounds funny to me, like it could feasibly be a slang term for a ladies part or something similar.  Don't you have any perfectly harmless words that make you giggle, just because of the way they sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 In Folkestone amongst the dozens of kebab shops there is one called "The Best Kebab".   It got a massive 0 out of 5 in their recent food hygiene inspection: http://www.folkestoneherald.co.uk/Hygiene-ratings-reveal-best-ndash-rest/story-21651558-detail/story.html    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refused Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Ha. That reminds me of a steak house I saw in a tiny little village in Italy that had appropriated the Chicago Bulls logo for outside their restaurant. I love stuff like that.  We had a resturant here called The Gorge, the walls were done like caves - I guess like Cheddar Gorge, not that it was located anywhere near it. They had loads of Pokemon painted onto the counter, all in the wrong colours. A bizarre place, but I used to love it as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2014 Of course, the business name that arouses the most suspicion is J.D. Wetherspoon. Â Unless you're Mike Castle, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 When I was staying in Harlem a few months back,there was a take away fish place called The O' Fishole down from the apartment,pretty good too despite the name. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â It got a massive 0 out of 5 in their recent food hygiene inspection: http://www.folkestoneherald.co.uk/Hygiene-ratings-reveal-best-ndash-rest/story-21651558-detail/story.html There's a Best Kebab in Glasgow that's fucking rank too. My mate bought a kebab from there once, ate less than half before offering it to a homeless chap, who declined on learning where it had come from.
