Our house phone number is up on a big sign above a shop advertising it as their fax number. We dont get that many folk faxing us so we havn't bothered saying to them.

You could have been witty and posted a picture but just replaced the number shown with the flirt divert number :)

Not sure if it's still there, but there's a delightful shop in Brighton that sells bits and pieces for "folk of a certain persuasion" called Slip into Our Souls.

Isn't there a shop somewhere like Dublin that Chris has mentioned? It' a Kebab shop called abra-kebab-ra

I think that's brilliant!

I think there's a tanning place (not that I've been in there, it's next to a KFC you understand) called 'Tantastic' round here.

Also, Ickle will know this if she ever visits any more but near Solihull there's a town called Shirley; in Shirley there is an Indian restaurant called the Shirley Temple Restaurant.

There is a book full of these - can't think how I know this - but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Bah I need to go back to work!

Ther's a chain of tan places called tanfastic too.

What amuses me is the comedy use of the word "Wok" in chinese restraunts. I've seen "Wok this way", "Wok right in", "Wok you want" and "Wok's that coming over the hill is it a chinese is it a chinese".

(N.B. the last one was made up)

Theres an all you can eat Chinese Buffet round here called Angel Chef. It opened about 500 yards down the road from the other, all you can eat Chinese Buffet restaurant.
About a year ago, a rumour started to spread they health inspectors had found evidence that they had been using Stray Dogs in the cooking. Angel chef then invited the local paper to come and watch as they the health inspectors came round and basically cleared them totally of any wrong doings.
Now on they have an advert on the radio that ends with Dogs barking and the guy saying something like "The only do you'll find in here is married to the owner"

Is that real? I know Moyles and Dave quote it a bit, but I didn't think it actually existed! Brilliant if it does

I think topher covered it fairly well.

I assume its only on their sign above the shop front that the number is wrong.

You would have thought they'd have noticed it though.

I thought DemonHorse's comment there was akin to my comment that was inferred as "are you a moron" the other day.

they quite possibly have noticed it but cant be assed spending the money to get it fixed.
