Local furniture store near my parents is called Congdons. May not sound that funny in the light of day but always gets a laugh as we stumble past on our way back from the pub.

There used to be a landscape gardening firm called "Ripoffe & Scarper" in/around Chertsey. Their van was printed with the strapline "The company that doesn't live up to its name".

Some drain unblockers in Notts called the "Action Rod Squad" Used to make us laugh when we rang them.

Not forgetting "Alan Twatt" potato farmers. Have a look on yell.com, they are for real.
