In for laughter? Here's list of funniest business names in London
Many business owners in London love to name their properties in unique yet hilarious ways
Chip shop proprietors love wordplay, from the relatively simple The Codfather in London to the more complex 'A Fish Called Rhondda in Pentre', Rhondda Cynon Taf.
The Sunderland wine business Amy's Winehouse, the Milton Keynes ceramic cafe Kilning Me Softly, and the London barbershop Barber Streisand are all participating in the act.
In Gwynedd, north Wales, just outside Bangor, lies the flamboyantly called Dark Side of the Bloom, owned by florist Rachael Allen.
She claimed it was a wise financial move to name her company after the Pink Floyd song Dark Side of the Moon.
"It just took off, we get so many comments, it's unbelievable," she said.
"I wanted something that reflected a little bit of an alternative florist rather than just the run of the mill because we do a lot of alternative weddings."
She doesn't think of herself as a Pink Floyd enthusiast, but the moniker tends to draw those who do.
"I do get a lot of bikers and I've done a lot of bikers' funerals and weddings as well and I think [the name] has attracted them so its really good," she said.
