There's a miscellaneous kebab and pizza takeway in Thorne called "Bits and Pizzas" - does that count?

Cleverest one I ever saw though was a franglais pun in Paris: a shop selling pens called "Get A Pen". Unfortunately you have to know French to get it and I'm not gonna help you! :razz:

Two that I've seen signwritten on vans around the Cambridge area are "Rogers the Florist" and a musical one, "Joinery Division".

Anyone remember Tanya Hyde the leather shop that used to be near the Odeon..(i think)

Yes, remember it well, I've still got a couple of 'biker' style jackets from there. A few years ago my wife was going to get me a jacket for Christmas so we drove up to Tanya Hyde (a 500 mile round trip) only to find them shut up. Fortunately it was a Saturday and Hartlepool were at home. :laugh:

Unfortunately we lost to Luton. sadx

There is one with that exact name 100 yards from where I live. I wonder if a barber's would get away with being called the razor brothers.
