    There's a Balti Towers in Burton on Trent, too, and, I suspect, in a few other places.

    One that used to amuse me many years ago wasn't a shop but a demolition company in Orpington, Kent, called Watch It Come Down Ltd.

                      And many hairdressers called Curl up and dye.

                      (Google images link seems not to want to be cut and pasted!)

                          I seem to recall years ago when living in Bath that there was a vasectomy clinic in Saw Close and a family planning one in Union Passage but I imagine that both are now long gone...

                                ... and in a bloomin' similar vein, jean:



                                "...the isle is full of noises,
                                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
