    There is a hairdressers’ in Yeadon (near the airport) called Hairport.

    And a guitar shop in Leeds (which is on the River Aire) called Aire Guitars. That one once won a Yellow Pages ‘Best business name’ competition.

    Ok so it’s a bit off topic but there’s a company in central Scotland that does open air BBQ’s, whole hogs etc,,

    Their tag line is “the spit roast specialists”. Now that’s quite a mission statement!
