When in town today I saw a van emblazoned with the legend

Dragon Cleaners

I couldn't help wondering how much business they have? I suppose they might find more here than in England :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have in my funnies j-peg file on my HD quite a few vans/vehicles with somewhat amusing signwriting.

Unfortunately, too rude to post !

Reminds me of the company producing "Dragon" sausages which , surprisingly enough, don`t contain dragon ( or mother-in-law, presumably!) so the name had to be changed.

One of my favourites was the hairdressers in Finsbury Park, London called "It Will Grow Back".

Then there's the Bournemouth militaria shop "Norman D. Landing"...

Mothercare briefly sold something called a "Baby Mincer".

There's a shop here called 'Thong Tailor'

Fortunately they don't make them in my size...

Fatt Man Brassiere Company

Not many men admit that they could do with them do they? :lol: :lol:

In Denia, the undertakers/crematorium is called " Siempre Vivo" , which means "always alive" .... one would hope not !
