Right. I was wandering around Putney, as one does and decided to see of I could think of bands who had shops in their names. This is the bastard child of the tube/ band name thread. I apologise, but I'm doing it anyway. Here are mine. Show me yours. - Future Pilot AKA, RyManfred Mann, Superdrugstore, Burger King Adora, Quiksave Supersport. Have I too much time on my hands...

It just occured to me the second after I posted that in my haste to be the first to answer - I have not done what the fair questioner has asked, and instead used a shop with the name of another shop appended.

I am thickee of the day. Please chastise me.

Pete, you berk.

(berk = my favourite rhyming slang. V subtle)

― Mark C, Tuesday, 4 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

During my lecture, I tried thinking of more names, but couldn't find any, so maybe we should simply annex shop names. Or maybe, Pete, you are an illiterate fule.

Wootton in Oxfordshire used to have a shop called "P J Harvey, Family Butcher", which I thought was the BEST THING EVER. No, it really did, surely some of the other Oxford posters here must've seen it? I wanted to take a photo of it but I never did and now it's a florist instead. Sigh.

Anyway, back to the point. *deep breath*
