Not quite in the same vein as being bad pun-tastic, but this always struck me as being rather wrong, and I'm not even one of the PC brigade...

OK, not a shop, but the B&B called 'Nessun Dorma' at the top of the hill in Plocton always used to amuse me.

clicky


Nessun Dorma is Italian for 'None Shall Sleep'.
Maybe it's something to do with the airstrip behind it?

My regular train journey through South Africa's East Rand used to take me past what was, I think, a steel merchant's warehouse. It was called MacPhail's.

That's not the ridiculous part.

Below the company's name, it said, including the quotes, Mac won't "phail" you. The train itself would groan as it rolled past that warehouse.

Turns out 20 years later that they still have the same tagline. I missed a pair of quotes too.

http://www.macphail.co.za/

They must have moved though, none of their sites is on the line I travelled on.

Clicked on that and got an AV alert for a phishing site
Going to admit that took a few seconds...

Ended many brilliant nights there though.

Hair & beauty studio near Rugby - 'Camelian'.

Is it a Camel, Ian? No - it's supposed to be chameleon, I would guess.

We've got a furniture shop here called 'People Like Us'....

What, 'people like you' come in, or people 'like' you?

They abbreviate it on their website to 'Plus furnishings.'

I just don't get what they're trying to say confused


One I did like is a chippy called 'Big George's Fishcotecque' biggrin
