odd or inapproprite names for shops
On little Blackburn Road there's a new shop about to open called Safari Tanning and the signage has a zebra design.
I'm not sure it's an appropriate neme for a tanning studio it suggests to me it's a bit streaky - just a thought |

Re: odd or inapproprite names for shops
The best one I've seen in Accy is 'The Glory Hole" On warner Street - suggesting 'extra' services ?!?!? I always wonder if they were actually aware of the double meaning.

Perhaps you stick your winky through a hole in the shop wall, and someone tells you what's coming soon.
