    In the career of glory one gains many things; the gout and medals, a pension and rheumatism....all of these fatigues experienced in your youth, you pay for when you grow old. Because one has suffered in years gone by, it is necessary to suffer more, which does not seem exactly fair.

    Round here we have, Basil Brush (Painter and Decorator), Tim'll fix it (odd job man), and Benson's Hedges (Gold van, Gardener).

    The best one imo, is the local Gardener called Ian (I think) Watts, who's company is "Watts in your Garden".

    Wonder how many of us wish we had the balls to do this at some time or other?

    There is a small cafe in Cardiff called The Warm As T​oast cafe. The capital letters were very big. It was popular with students.

    Barbers in my local town, "Get Your Locks Off". Hairdressers near the same location, "Clip Round the Ear".
    To the army, to every soldier in it. I have a bond of attachment quite independent of any political reasonings. I was a soldier at that time when the feelings are most ardent and when the strongest attachments are formed. ‘Once a soldier, always a soldier’ is a maxim, the truth of which I need not insist to anyone who has ever served in the army for any length of time.

    Alex Trician, seems to be a few of these around the country, I wonder if they went to school with Rick Layer and Paul Umber.

    But the worst has to be Utterly Gutterly! What the fuck were they thinking?
    They probably thought "People will remember that name. Some cunt might even tell his mates or post about it online."

    There is an estate agency in the Kidderminster/ Bewdley area called "Doolittle and Dally".
