As mentioned on another thread. There's was a DIY shop in Teignmouth called 'Fork Handles' and they had an electrical shop around the corner called 'Four Candles'.
Also in Exeter there's a scaffolding lorry that I see around that says on the back 'For a really great erection please call 01392...'
Anyone got any others?

I was in Stoke the other day and happened to come across dirty dicks.

Thankfully it was just the name of a kitchen manufacturer

Exeter rather specialises in such names. There used to be a hairdresser (still may be there) called Shaggers. Subtlety is not the name of the game.

 

[Welshman]

There's a footwear shop in Hebden Bridge called 'Ruby Shoesday'

Always used to make me smile when I passed it.

Also there's a skip hire company in Leicester called T Watts Ltd

There's a pet shop lorry that drives around with "Sex Guaranteed" in big letters on the side, obviously referring to the gender of their rodents
Due to the size of the wording, it isn't immediately obvious it is a pet shop van

About 20 years ago there was a coach company in the Tamworth / Rugeley area that was called "Faulty Tours" - a very clever piece of reverse marketing!

There's a fish and chip shop in Swanage called 'The Fish Plaice'.

Also in Exeter there's a scaffolding lorry that I see around that says on the back 'For a really great erection please call 01392...'

There's one round here with 'For a quick safe erection' on the back.
I think my favorite company name would be the plasterer in Edinburgh with Completely Plastered.

Also, an honourable mention must go to Grant Henderson Tankers, for both the website address www.wemovesh.it and for having plates such as GO04POO and V5POO on their fleet.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

There are many, many, fish and chip shops that call themselves "The Codfather".

There are many, many, fish and chip shops that call themselves "The Codfather".

And indeed a pun on "plaice", despite that species not being a particularly popular choice!

 

[Castle Cary]

[fowler9]

Dog grooming place by ours called Doggy Style.

Did your boss make you walk five hundred miles?
Did he then make you walk five hundred more?

Call Pro-claimers, for all your employment dispute needs.

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.
My favorite chippy in Scarborough is called Winking Willys, and another chippy in Goole called Frying Nemo.
