Whats in a name?

I have to take the bus everywhere I go. Mainly cause I am to poor and lazy to take my drving tests but there you go. Now the only redeeming feature of bus travel is that you get to look out of the window and snigger at the pedestrians and look at the shops, with out the fear of losing control of your car and crashing into a camel. Their around, and their sneaky.

With my keen eye on the lookout I have noticed some odd shop names crop up.

Also noticed a really good one.

Aesthetics.

Its a beauty salon with the right name. I like that.

Anyway bad shop names.

Dr Of China.

Sells Chinese herbal medicines and potions.

But the name suggests that 1,306,313,812 Chinese people go to him for medical advice. And he puts his shop on Melton Rd. Nonsense. Sort it out you idiot. I would allow "Dr From China" or possibly "Dr From China That Sells Herbal Stuff But Not You Know Anything Illegal".

Another idiot that I saw.

USA Hand Car Wash

So only Americans know how to hand wash cars? Or perhaps only they know how to do it properly? Either way unless the car wash is owned by Americans or on American Embassy soil they should change their name.

Last but by no means least.

Inspecto "R" Gadgets.

It even has a picture of Inspector Gadget. The real cartoon one not the fake film one......which didn't happen.....either times.

But back to the name, with the quote marks around the R it reads

Inspecto
R
Gadgets.

Which makes no sense at all. Come on lads just drop the bloody O and its all good. I get it, you want to make a connection to your favourite programme but it just doesn't work. So leave it out. Also......if your shop has a name like that then you should sell, oh I don't know some gadgets and not alloy wheels. Which is what you do sell, and now you look silly.

Now these crackers appear on 2 of my 3 bus routes, but i am hoping that there is more out there, so please post any stupid shop names you happen across on your daily comutes. Saves me time and money.


Cheers
