Determined nominativism

[orienteer]

As a corollary to the Nominative determinism thread, and with a suitably contrived title, I offer this thread for business names invented to indicate the trade.

I was inspired by a couple of local ones: Dick Turfin, Landscaper, and M. T. Drains.

There's an estate agents in Biggleswade called Sellors & Lettors

[Quisling]

Our friendly local plasterer has the business name "Flat Boy Skim", which is genius.

[Kim]

There's an "Ace With Spades" landscaping company whose lorry I see from time to time.

I continue to see them on a fairly regular basis.

There's Sofa King in Northampton with the inevitable tagline, "Our prices are Sofa King low".

I don't know whether the food van on the A38 south of Bristol is still there:  'Breakfast at Timothy's' said the sign.

Hairdressers in Ealing - Pure Barberism!

I don't know that one but the Jason Doner Van on the Triangle is still going strong.

A burger van on Alfreton Road: Only Foods and Sauces

Not sure that works without a picture of the signage which will no doubt be remarkably similar to that of Only Food and Sauces that operates in Whitecroft.  I'll fail miserably to remember to take a picture for the next three weeks at least...

I suppose once the supply of H-vans suitable for hipster street food vendors dries up, Reliant Robins may be the next big thing...

[Mr Larrington]

I found myself in a hipstery hangout last week and the foodie vans parked outside were a Peugeot and a Something USAnian.  Probably easier to find than a Reliant Supervan.

In Ealing again:  I'm not sure whether the owners of the Impact Driving School thought the name through properly.

[arabella]

There's a one-man driving school here called Steer Clear

[Wowbagger]

There used to be a ladies' hairdressers in Southend yclept "Beau Locks", which appealed rather.

There is an Indian restaurant in Skipton known as Mastab. Mrs. Wow and I have enjoyed Mastab Asian sessions with Woolly & Peli on a few occasions. Not really relevant to this thread but always worth sharing.
