Time to get fleeced up, son.
really can’t believe I’m in the minority on this one
Homebase
doesn’t really belong here anyway because IT ISN’T A PUN
I agree with japes
Surely it should be Wok This Way.
There’s a Chinese takeaway in Newmarket called Golden Horse.
I see where they are coming from ‘Golden [something]’ is one of yer standard Chinese takeaway names and Newmarket is associated with horses. But that name just makes it sound slightly dodgy.
when i was in canada years back i saw a tour bus company called CANADREAM. keeps me up at night thinking about how badly that doesn’t work. just sticks in my brain.
Have you guys thought that maybe the fact that it was an american company/name that it might have been (an albeit terrible) attempt at word play / a pun?
Just worth considering a different cultural viewpoint where aggpass’ point does make some sense.
not a pun but love the audacity of this (has passed hands/rebranded quite a few times, current incarnation has stuck the longest)
mate, you’ve only got 5 1/5

Chicken, Cattle and Rolls isn’t a play on anything. you know what’s supposed to be playing on right?
this is So Near, So Spar all over again

i’m not a big fan of laboured puns as shop names but it absolutely works. they don’t have to have perfect syntax!
It offends me.
I get the pun, but it doesn’t work as a sentence.
that’s because it isn’t a sentence. it’s a pun on a well known phrase being used as the name of a shop
