I often see tankers that go around emptying cesspits. The company is "Suck Cess".

You must be in the same neck of the woods as me Paul. Always makes me chuckle that one. I just wish I'd thought of it...

Anyone know of any more amusing or ironic company names?

'OTIS', famous internationsal lift maker, have their UK headquaters in Reading, apparantly.


So yes, really, they answer the phones: "Otis, Reading".....

Like Siemens had a place in Staines? Only they never did...

Siemans Bracknell does quite have the same ring to it though does it?

CommIdea used to answer there phones as Chlamydia (or as near as damm it)

Now you phone up and there is avery very definite shift to be called Comm Idea

Wang computers (remeber them) called their technical help desk "Wang Care" Oh how we laughed when they used to answer the phone..."Hello,Wang Care...."

And at one point they were close to releasing a PC called the Wang King, until someone pointed out the potential embarassment to their MD

Used to work for them.... especially careful in presentations not to talk about "Wang kit" or "Wang Keyboards". The greatest thing ever was that we had a very pretty Midlands girl start on reception, welcoming guests, answering phones etc. The Brummy accent that she had, pronouncing G as a K got her hauled off the phones pretty quickly.

"Good mornink, Wank UK, can I help you"....

I've seen lifts by Schindler all over the place, but it never clicked... = /

I live in a small village in the West Country, every month we get a Parish news letter put through the door that has adverts for local companies. My favorite that always makes me smile is for a Mole Catcher with the tag line "No Mole, No Fee".

There's a camping and caravan centre in Godstone, who, in the off season put out a sign saying

"Now is the winter of our discount tent"

Several years ago I remember seeing a waste disposal van in London with the company name of "Speedy Gone Garbage"

[r1ot]

There is a mobile disco operating in the glasgow area, I saw their van and the business name was "naenofyerpish". Thought it was brilliant.

[TIGA84]

Stiff Nipples air conditioning is one I remember.....

[robodonkey2005]

Slightly off topic, and let me begin by saying we have mixed toilets at work. So....

I noticed the "Feminine Hygeine" disposal unit is manufactured by a company called Sanistrel. Printed just under the disposal hatch is the instructions for use (This is not a joke):

1. Open flap

2. Insert

3. Close flap

Has to have been designed by a man.
Made me laugh anyway

My favourite is the German coaches that say 'F*CKER' on the side in huge writing.

I believe the miserable F*ckers have changed either their name or at least the way it is written. Quality though, especially when there's a whole coachload of F*ckers

Good old Fückers, since 1962.
