Its a bit quite in the office here so i have made up a game

The challenge is to find a funny or ironic name like 'The Frying Scotsman' (fish and chip shop) or 'Spex Appeal' (optitian) but car related.

It should also help give me idea's for my garage

"bump and grind"

Nowt to do cars, but I liked it.

There's a builder round Winchester way called "Bricking It", well I think it's funny

Cheers
David

There used to be a second hand clothes shop in Monaiave, Dumfrieshire, called "Second hand Swank", funnily enough the S of "Swank" used to go missing quite a lot, Don't know if it was the local youts or the proprietor that was up to the editing though.

'Drivin's Cool' My mates idea for a driving school name!

There used to be an estate agents in my town called Rosewood, they used to just use a large capitol R on the for sale signs. The house that were 'sold' then used to have a big sign outside saying....

R

A gas station (petrol station, for you) in my hometown used to have a sign on the side that said "A great place to get gassed!", but of course, the "g" was always missing. I think someone with no sense of humour has it now, because the sign was changed.

Errr, anyone else noticed the newly formed energy company incorporating Gazprom and the Nigerian government ?

It's seriously called Nigaz..... (really !)

Edited to say; The BBC have noticed at least link
