Here are a few more, all completely genuine, as I have checked at Companies House myself. First one is definitely the best though:-

Kunn-e-Ling U.S. Limousines
K.O.K. Club Limited
Phil McCracken Accounting Limited
Dick Seaman Farms Limited
Puberty Ramp Builders Ltd (anyone fancy phoning these guys to see what they actually do???)
Seymour Muff Productions Limited

and the list goes on

I got this sent to me.

There is a company in Sweden called locum, which operates medical wards.

They decided to place an ad to celebrate Christmas and the new year. The copywriter at the ad agency said "Why not replace the o in locum
with a heart?". You know, cuddly and all.

See result attached.

The coolest thing was the comment from Locum's boss when the papers interviewed him about the mistake.

"Ah, well. These things happen. And if it helps to fill our maternity wards we don't mind."

There is a refurb' outfit in London that solely employs asians. Their strap line is "You've had the Cowboys, now here come the Indians"

And a Lagging company in the Cambridge area who's strap line is "Probably the best Laggers in the world"

[chuff]

There's a removal firm around Surbiton called "Hump-it" and their punch line which is on all their vans is "We'll Hump Anything"

[filmidget]

Scaffolding company locally with following on their vehicles:

"For the best erections call..."

Cheers, Phil

Royal Flush Plumbers...

A company local to me has sewage lorries with the company name/tag-line of 'Suck-Cess'.

Does what it says on the tin, I guess!

[Marcos Maniac]

UPVC Guttering and Fascia Company round my way with the slogan 'Get Ripped Off'

[whatever]

There's a similar one round these parts with the slogan "Everything you do is driven by us"

On a slightly different note, I can understand why our 3-day event woman calls herself "Pippa" Funnell - I mean, Phillippa Funnell? I would if she'd lie still long enough....

I hope I don't need to explain....

[Pinkney]

There's a local waste/refuse company whose slogan is 'our business is rubbish' - classic! It's a pity more people don't create names and slogans like these, quite often the best and cheapest advertising method.

I've seen this van, and the pic misses the best bit, on the back it say's 25% surcharge for Gooners !"
