Names that describe the trade!!

Lets see how many we can think of, I will start it off:

Ironing service called: Pressed for Time

Hairdressers called: Curl up and Dye

Turfing: Don't seed it Sod it

Val :D

 

There is a bloke round here who has made a business out of selling and fitting blinds. His company name, 'The Blind Man' of course.

 

When I worked as a ships agent we dealt with a firm of marine loss adjusters, - Fiddlepenny & Co.

 

Aaron A. Aardvark, not the best, but first in the book.

 

Smooth Groover - Plasterer who does a bit of wood flooring laying :yess:

 

If we're talking of terrible puns, we have a local fish and chip shop called The Codfather. Rather more inventive is a tanning salon down the road called Tanfastic. Not bad, that one. Proof that perma-tanned Medway girls aren't entirely thick. Rather more commonplace is the shoe mender whose shop is called 'Cobblers'.

One shop name which probably doesn't describe the proprietor's trade will be familiar to those of you who regularly cross the Shropshire border into mid Wales. There's a general store in the village of Knocking called ... The Knocking Shop.

On a rather different tack, sometimes people seem predestined to follow a particular profession by virtue of their names. Like the undertaker who was called 'Coldbreath', or the gynaecologist who rejoiced in the name 'Sorfani'. (Both of these are true, by the way.)

Alas, try as I might I can't find a financial link between an unfortunate senior accountant and his godawful name: 'Grocock'. But it is quite funny, all the same. Or it seemed that way to us years ago when we were giggly girls in our first jobs, and a hapless temp shouted across the room: 'Mr Grocock. Now, where does he hang out?'

 

A man who lives a few doors down has a burger van, and of all the names, he picked... Only Foods & Sauces...

 

Mobile greasy spoon van used to pitch up by Cardiff Airport it may still do? I laughed each time I went past

Can I diversify slightly?

Living on the this island of mine, there are so many companies with Man or Mann in there name. One that springs immediately to mind is Removal Mann.

Our car registration plates aren't left out either. All our registration numbers have Man on them or the letters end MN. The one I've seen and would really like is Man 1C.

When I lived in Essex years ago there was a local ariel firm with this on the side of their vans.........'satisfaction guaranteed with every erection'.

Remember when there used to be TV repair men who'd come to the house and fix things? Ours was .... Mr. Patchett, I kid you not.

In a village not far from us there's a junk -I mean 'antique' shop - which rejoices in the name of 'Kristies Antiques'. No, I was right first time, it is definitely a junk shop!

One of my daughters buys her fish and chips at 'The Fish Plaice'; in Medway, there used to be (or may still be) a small cafe which called itself 'The Bridge Roll', seeing as how it was located right next to a railway bridge; I often see the 'Spend a Penny' plumbers' van around (and wonder if that really is all he charges); round here, 'Plastic Surgery' will come and instal uPVC windows, doors, soffits etc., and hairdressers I have known, include 'The Cutting Room', 'Upper Cuts' and 'Tangles'.
