As spotted on a passing van this morning:

Socket 'n' See Electrical

This pun is now in third place, just behind:

1. Curl up and dye hairdressers
2. Darwin Cafe: The Natural Selection


Would you let any of these people sell you anything?

I remember seeing a hairdressers called "Dye Quietly" but I can't remember where it is.

There's also Cunning Stunts - the kite shop that was in Bristol a few years ago - not sure if that's still around.

*laughs* because it's remarkably easy to do - that's all. Die is a really dramatic word that conjures up all kinds of images, but if you attach it to something as mundane as a hairdressers it looses some of it's mystique. The rest is simply human psychology.

I thought that 'curl up and dye' was originaly from The Blues Brothers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080455/). It's the shop where Carrie Fishers character is reading the flamethrower manual.

Now there's a filum I've not seen in years - I really ought to try and find my copy and watch it again...

Plaice of rest
Heaven is a Plaice on Earth
The Hiding Plaice (this one could be on a chip shop tucked away down a non-oft-visited alleyway
Plaice your weary head
Killer Plaice from Outer Space
Plaice-tecene
Plaice Matt
Plaice my Battered Sausage On Your Fish
Plaice where you can buy fish and chips

There are some which in all likelyhood don't exist.

On the topic of odd things written on vans, have you seen the "Munters" van?

One of the better shop names I've actually seen is in my home town of Driffield. It sounds dull at first, but if you say it in the right tone of voice, that of a very lecherous Yorkshire farmer, especially when it's being broadcast loudly over a tannoy at agricultural machinery sales, it can achieve magnificence....

"Roger Bentley's POWER TOOLS"

where we get our lawnmower fixed....

And I always love scaffolding companies, they always seem to take great pride in their "24-hour erection service".

All the hairdressers in East Yorkshire are dull as anything though, they're all called Mr. Bob's, Jeff's, Angies, Dave's Hair Palace and so on.... No imagination.

One of the suppliers of patio furniture at work is called Bangkok Interfurniture.

That sounds painful...
