I remember the driving school now: Driveology

A friend's been to an Indian restaurant in Birmingham called Balti Towers.

My favourite is the chip shop in Repton called Good Buy Mr Chips - there's a famous public school in the village where they filmed a TV version of the novel it alludes to

Both excellent, Chris!

2ffat, that reminds me of one near us: Beauty's a Curse

Not really a business, but I think the name of this psy-trance DJ is great: Psychovsky
