Thread Name: BS: Funny Names of Businesses
Subject: RE: BS: Funny Names of Businesses
On my last trip to Britain I noticed several businesses whose names seemed to be deliberate double-entendres.

A hamburger café was called BURGER OFF.

A shop that sold brass door hardware was called KNOBS AND KNOCKERS.

Someone had named his house FAR CORFE.

People who re-do pubs seem to be fond of the word FIRKIN (though I can't think of any examples).
