Now and then one comes across a shop with a sign above the door which perfectly describes the function of said shop. Loads of shops fail to do this but this one succeeded. Sadly it was closed Does anyone have any other example of well named consumer outlets ?

This one in Llangollen always cracks me up. For anyone who doesn't speak Welsh it translates as "the shop owned and staffed by bitter racist sheepshagging inbreds which exists for the sole purpose of fleecing gullible tourists".

This one always comes to my mind. It's near Fort William and I had just walked from John O'Groats with the dog, she was in need of a wash before we spent a luxurious couple of days of R&R in a hotel before we moved on. The mutt was very very happy to see the closed sign!

For accuracy

She hates being washed.

For accuracy No, "Llangollen" is Welsh for "tourists".

I once left Molly at a wash and blow dry service post smelly swamp encounter..when I snuck back in she was lying quietly in a cage until she saw me..then.....howls from the hounds of baskervilles couldn't have made more noise.....

Ignoring the fact that Lucy was mistreated when she was younger... The last time I attempted to wash her was about 6 years ago - she had caught a deer on Estate Land and I had spent about an hour trying to sort the situation - eventually I dragged her home via the river to try to wash some of the blood off. Water/blood/stairs/bath + struggling dog ended up with the house looking like a scene from a horror movie. I'd like to say that we both learnt a lesson from that experience but it took a couple more years before we really understood...
