Any one got any amusing shop signs they have seen in their local vacinity?
Best one I have seen is 'Bathman and Plumbing'.
There is a town/city in Cumbria (England) called Cockermouth. It's not a shop, but pretty funny really. Try keep a straight face when an old lady tells you she's from that area. "Excuse me." is the usual response I can tell ya.
Where I live there's a pub called 'The Same Yet'. The name came from the 1800's when the owner employed a sign writer. The writer asked the publican what he wanted writing as a name and the publican repliedin his haster 'Oh! The same yet', meaning keep the name as it is. The sign writer in his ignorance took it literally so, the name stands 150 years later.

There's a solicitor's office in the town I live in (Redcar, England), called Brown, Beer and Co.
Slightly off topic, but when playing rugby at school a few years ago, the second row of one of our teams went down in legend as:-
Grocock, Hardon and Cumming... 😲
I kid you not.
