Chippies and hairdressers

[Tooting Gull]

There can be little doubt that these two retail/service outlets are in a league of their own when it comes to crap pun names for the shop. What about a list of the very worst/best - I'll start the ball rolling with 'Codswallop', a chippie in Turkey where I go on holiday, and the terrible 'Fishcotheque' near Waterloo station.

There's a Fatboy Trims up at Fiveways. Even got a Skint-style fascia - if that's the right word for shop-front sign artwork. Fascia might be a flower tho, in which case me a moron

It's now called "Ron's" which is a far more British name for a barbers. Had my hair cut in there only yesterday.

"R Soles" shoe shop on the King's Road is quite amusing

And dont forget 'Clique' Hairdressers near Withdean.

So many to choose from up here. Mostly hairdressers:

Sofistikutz
The Mane Event
Rumurs (no pun but why the atrocious spelling?)
The Kutting Krew (for all 80s AOR fans)


and my personal fave is the Edinburgh Fringe

Saw Dave Spikey (Jerry StClair off phoenix nights) do stand up when I was working at the Glee Club in Birmingham, he said he had seen a place called ..

Jason's Donner Van

Surely a winner? Not sure how the donner / donna etc was spelt though.

Chinese or something in Harlow called "Crystal Palace", I have defaced the sign on many occasions!

 

[CHAPPERS]

I like the chinky down from the Clock Tower named, 'Me Old China'.

rather sadly this does not exist anymore and is now called 'Roy's Barbers', how boring is that?
shame, the guy who owned fatboy trims was a good bloke.
don't let roy cut your hair, he is rubbish.
i go elsewhere now.

Not a chippie or hairdresser, but there's a dog-groomers in Kemptown (where else) called "Doggy Fashion". This is just along the road from a pine furniture store called "The Strip Joint"
