I just love shop horrors like this one...When I was growing up in South Yorkshire all shops seemed to have names like this fish and chip shop in Sheffield. I remember a hairdressers called 'Hair Today' and a bread shop owned by a lady named Barbera called 'Babs Baps' and the local chippy was 'Paul's Plaice' (even though they never sold plaice). When I lived in Leeds I used to drive home past a tile retailers called 'Tile 'em high' and I was delighted to drive past 'The Codfather' in Barnsley recently so I've decided to take my digicam out and about with me to see what other delights I can find. Please do email me with similar shop horrors to add to my collection.

I was just trying to think of one I remember - or not - which was something about plaice I think. No good, I can't remember but i shall keep a lookout.
