    Prawnbrokers for me too

    I hear BassJunkieUK might hunt along my route - What do you ride? I'll keep a look out

    I'm on a black/red GIant SCR 3.0, although it's probably easy to spot the oh-so-discreet DNB R3 shoes in the lovely red/white/black combo that stand out quite a bit! Depending on where I'm working I can be heading out via Balham/Tooting/Clapham (more SCR action then the A23!) or Dulwich/Camberwell :-)

    What are you on?

    All Fired Up - In Ripley, Surrey selling fireplaces, electric fire and central heating :-)

    My old man works for these guys and gets to drive a lorry with that written down the side.

    I ride an old, too small for me, Giant OCR in yellow, grey and blue. Big red coat and bag. I do E&C though camberwell, dulwich, Crystal Palace to Addiscome. I'm always racing someone, so I'll keep my eye out

    I came across a cafe in Barcelona called "Bar Cuntis." I couldn't get the photo off my phone but Google suggests that I'm not the only one who thought it was worth a picture..

    In SW London there's the dog-walking service, Houndstretcher.

    Honourable mentions for Ho Lee Fook Chinese restaurant in Putney, and Phat Phuc noodle bar in Chelsea.

    On the same theme Belfast has a Foo Kin noodle bar

    Haha! I like that Wheezy!

    Chinese takeaways seem to do very well with funny names.
    Makes you wonder what our chips shop names translate to in chinese...!

    KK.

    Spotted a sandwich shop over the weekend called 'The Cobfather'

    Quite amusing but really that's a play on the chipshop down the road called 'The Codfather' rather than being a play on the godfather. Points for effort though :)
