Strange name

[Jemisa]

I was in the car waiting at lights glanced at shops and saw a Solicitors called 'SODEAU' just how is one supposed to pronounce that do you think?
Anyone else seen strange names for businesses?

Slightly odd shop fronts amuse me too, TCL-M.

There used to be a carpet shop in Boston (Lincs) with the window full of carpets labelled ''6 foot wide', '12 foot wide' and, in the case of stair carpets, '2 foot wide' or '3 foot wide'. All of the carpets prominently displayed their prices as so much 'per square yard'. The name above the shop? It was 'The Metric Carpet Shop' ;-)

ah, just read this interview with Penn and Teller in last weekend's Telegraph. Penn has two children called Zolten Penn and Moxie Crimefighter Penn. I am not kidding.

How silly! Fountain and ballpoint would have been much more appropriate.

Many moons ago while on holiday I met a fellow who's surname was 'Gotobed'
