Strange Shop Combinations

[MrFlibbles]

Went out for an Indian alast night, and on the way back, I noticed an Ice Cream Parlour, that was also a photocopying centre! :wobble:

Hands up who gets the need for an Ice Cream whilst doing a bit of copying?

I can see how that would be beneficial...

weirdest shop combo I've seen is that coffee set-up called Tschibo (spelling ? ) - a combination of a coffee shop and cheap clothing and assorted "stuff" shop - very odd. Have they gone out of business ?

And brass house numbers...

Double glazing (windows, doors, conservatorys) and Roofline (soffits, fascia, guttering). Cant see the connection there, if your roof needs fixing, call a roofer, not a double glazing salesman.

In Leamington Spa, there is a Upholstery Foam and Firework store! Not a combination I would choose.

They're still going - they're a huge german operation based in Hamburg - started out as coffee importers, and then expanded. My local petrol station has a tschibo coffee machine thingy,next to the hot food bit.

That's too much information, isn't it?

A good idea would be to put hairdressers/barbers in pubs so you can have a beer/game of pool while you wait in the queue. You could have those pull off tickets like the deli counter at Tescos has, add snacks and the inevitable multitude of diverse coffees that poeple find trendy now as well and you're on a roll

How about : use the traditional old-style womens hairdryer thingies (extra large sized) in the "smoking" section of the pub - set to "suck" , rather than "blow" ......

All the smokers could sit under one each one , and you would never need to legislate and implement "non-smoking " pubs !!
