Moses BS: unlikely ads (50) RE: BS: unlikely ads 06 Mar 06


The Guardian newspaper recently ran a section on unusual business names. Examples :-

Aberdeenshire snack bar - "Jack-o-bites"

General Store in the (South of England, I think) small town of Knocken - "The Knocken shop"

Hairdressers - "Have it off"

Mobile fish and chip shop - "Star chip Enterprise"



The best ad I ever saw was in the small ads of a local newspaper some years ago in the "Pets" section

"For sale, mongrel dog, almost human, otherwise sound"
