For many years, my favourite 'Poorly Chosen/Amusing Company Name' has always been the Lemmington Spa based firm of solicitors 'Wright Hassall'.
However, my travels today took me down to and around London village, where i spotted.......... R.Soles.
I then stopped off at a place which had not proofed all their stationery and claimed to be based in Wibbledon.

Nearly as good as the stationery shop in Manchester that has used the word 'stationary' on their sign.

Shaggy might remember when Northampton had a proper market square and a firm based there - either a solicitors or estate agents - called Swindall & Leggitt.

Or not. 'Twas a long time ago...

That's funny, I noticed them a few weeks ago while driving past, was stuck in traffic so it caught my eye, wasn't sure if it was named on purpose, it has to be but it's not very professional. I did actually take a photo and was going to post it but it was dark and therefore didn't come out.

Those fridges with 'Smeg' written in them never fail to raise a childish giggle.
