Is there enough interest to start a thread on this topic?

To start, some of my favorites are:

There used to be an art gallery near Gray's Inn Rd called "Gallery Singleton". Whether the owner was called Singleton or not I don't know.

I guess this won't mean much to the young'uns (god - how old do I sound!) or those who don't know the presenters of Blue Peter (including Valerie Singleton).

I'm still not certain if this is the name of the place or just a saying on a large sign in front of it: God Loves A Smiling Face. It's an orthodontist's office.

I live in a city surrounded by farm land. There is a septic waste hauler named "The Pooper Scooper". Their trucks carry the motto: "You Dump, We Pump".

 
[off-topic]We always called septic waste haulers, Honey Wagons because "you always catch more flies with honey than vinegar."[/off-topic].
