The part I love in these stories is the part that goes: "It's just a coincidence. My name is Singh, and I went to Bury once. Well, Rochdale. OK, Huddersfield. But it never even occurred to me it was similar to Sainsbury's."

Dog-grooming 'salons' seem particularly prone to silly names. Near where I live in Glasgow are Pawcasso and Glamour Paws. The latter is particularly irritating, because the name is clearly a play on "glamour puss", and a puss is a cat, not a dog. There is a dog groomers near Glasgow called Captain Dugwash. Cracks me up every time I see it.
