Companies w misleading names
Discussion
Are there any companies near you whose names imply that they do something different to what they actually do do?
Near me we have...
Rhino Removals ("hello, there's a rhino in my living room")
Compass Cleaning ("hello, my compass is dirty")
Sky Cleaning ("hello, the sky's looking a bit dirty")
Hockney Surfacing ("hellow, my Hockney painting is underwater")
And along the coast, Beaver tool hire ( you can make up your own joke!)

There's one fairly near me called "Corkscrew Hire", which I've always thought is a pretty niche market to be in. There's another one similar, but annoyingly I can't remember the name.
"Hello, I've got a bottle of wine but can't get it open"(I'm assuming they don't actually hire out corkscrews?)

'Off the self companies'? Do you mean the firm only exists in the fevered imagination of a popular, London-dwelling, sesquipedalian lad-lit novelist, sometime newspaper columnist and miserabilist psychogeographer?
Somewhat near me is a shop called 'Waterstones'. They sell neither water nor stones, which is disappointing.
Lol there's a shop near me called 'the smoking gun'. I went in and ask if they sold tobacco and she said no but actually looked embarrassed so I asked if they sold guns. They sell vapes.Somewhat near me is a shop called 'Waterstones'. They sell neither water nor stones, which is disappointing.
