got2laugh Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 When I lived in one of the poorer Middle Eastern countries, a lot of shops had names in badly spelt/translated English. They weren't puns. The ones I can remember were: Grubby Sweets American Spare Prats All in big neon letters above the shops. There was also a person advertising his services as PSYCHO THE RAPIST.

General Melchett Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I was on a friends allotment yesterday. The graveyard next door had a Death...although to be factual it was De'ath. Lots of Deaths around. I guess you need one in every town to cover demand. When I was a teenager, my mates and I got ridiculously endless amusement from the fact that there was a Pastor Skull who lived at the Manse in Rattlesden. That's the effect cider and summer sun has on teenaged brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panholio Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 A mate told me there is a takeaway in Hull called "Halal, is it Meat You're Looking For". Amazing if true. There is a chinese in Bradford called "Why eat?" With the question mark in the name. Makes no sense. There is also a tanning place in Farsley, Leeds amusingly called "Tanorexic"...
