    When I used to go fishing regularly in Ireland we used to pass a chinese takeaway on the N7 called Sun Fat …. always made me chuckle.

    We did a sign for an Ironing service which was next to a funeral parlour. They were called De-Creased

    Cheers

    "Dr" seems to be big here.
    I have done signs for Dr. Tile and Dr. Waterheater.
    Dr. Tile’s slogan is:
    "Floors look sick? Call the Doctor!"
    Of course Curl up and Dye
    There is a Wok ‘N Roll at Gate D in the Pittsburgh airport.
    Love….Jill
