Saw an electrician's van up near Lochcarron once with, "The Vital Spark" on side - cosy chuckle. However a mixer lorry down here, near Hastings had, "William the Concreter" on it. Louder groan to start with but doesn't really have the sustaining power. I won't mention gardening contractor called "Law'n order". Any more street puns ?

In Edinburgh there are two plumbing/heating firms - "Specific Heat" and "Scottish Thermal Unit". But I wonder if these might be a bit esoteric for the wider audience without higher physics pre 1980 (or equivalent).

Higher physic eh. I've heard these southerners mention uppers and downers but I suppose higher physic must be some sort of medecine - a tonic like Irn Bru or Buckie, maybe ?

Hairdressers have got to be the worst offenders.

I started to compile a list but grossed myself out. You can google them for yourselves.

There used to be a Mr Reekie in Kirkcaldy who was a coal merchant.
