Last week I saw a hairdressers called Curl Up & Dye. This
is now my favourite Business name ever. My second
favourite is a takeaway called Abrakebabra.

What are yours?

i call bullshit on this "book of real places"

thats crap, because its almost a pun, but its not because
the battery doesn't mean anything... and don't say batter
because you would never say battery
