Many Ho's Chinese in Taunton. Unfortunately for the lads they didn't have any when we went, so came out with just a sweet and sour pork and rice!

Used to go there regularly when I lived in Taunton. Unless it moved in the last 8 years it's on Wordsworth Drive, not far from the Football ground.

There used to be a car repair place in Huddersfield called "Tyred and Exhausted". We're not the most inventive town, it seems...

Apple users in Penzance whose machines go wrong in a way that hasn't been pre-determined by the manufacturers are invited to use a firm called Apple Crumble. I've heard today they are about to open a shop unit in the town.

Chinese takeaways are the gift that keeps on giving with funny names.
There is one in Lincoln called Man Ho, and another called Legal Food.

There's one in Tannochside called "Shatin". I decided not to try the food.

Completely forgot about this but my brother in law has an iPod repair business in Nottingham called illPod, which I think is rather good.

No idea if it's still there, but there used to be a car exhaust repair place up on the East coast of Scotland with the slogan 'Arbroath Smokies Cured Here'......

You know the expression "I'd give my eye teeth for ..."? Well this must be the place to go.

I remember a news story years ago about a bloke who opened a discount store called "'arrods". Mohammed Al-Fayed threatened legal action so the guy renamed his store to "Not 'arrods"!
