My mate said he used to go to a fish and chip shop named "The Star Chip Enterprise". Not sure where in the country it is (was) though.

Not sure if its spelt right but its a vegi diner!


And is pronounced why kick a moo cow (bloody lentelists!). Ive got a couple of ladies clothes shops nearby called 4Play and G-Spot (we thought about making G-Spot a menswear shop, but decided that not many guys would be able to find it)

I recall seeing a builder's van in the East End some years ago with Singh & Sons on it, written underneath was the tagline " You've tried the cowboys, now try the Indians". Made me chuckle anyway

There is a curry house in Manchester, I think, called 'Posh Spice'. I often see a blue van around my village with 'Parish Lengthsman' written down the side.

Now that's interesting. I own (and have done for years) the domains dressed4play.com and dressed4play.co.uk and they're currently for sale. Do you have an email address for them?
