Some beauties on this link. The florist shop, Back To The Fuschia is my favourite, I think.

Any excellent ones locally that aren't on this list? And more to the point, if you could start yourself just such a business, what splendidly pun-some name would you give it?

Some of those are brilliant.

There's a (quite tasty as well) sandwich shop in Littlehampton high street called Baguette-Me-Not. Always makes me chuckle when I walk past.

I think I'd open an independent off-licence, and call it From Beer To Eternity.
