There is a company in Edinburgh called Dial A Rod, I think (hope) they do drain-cleaning. My kiwi friends find it very amusing, so I think that might be a cultural thing !

I did have a bit of a chuckle at the Dutch TT a few years back when faced with hundreds of logos from the event sponsor

I think some of those riders are not on that track...

There is a scaffolding co in Leeds who have "best erections in town" on their trucks. There also used to be "mr shammys handjob" a hand car wash, but that shut down.

Not quite a company name but when in France on holiday I picked up some sponge backed scouring pads and they were called tampons. I took a pic but cant find it at the moment.

I mean these.

We used to deal with a German company and despite us recommending they changed their name they wouldn't. Unsurprisingly they never really took off over here.

An ex-girfriend particularly liked their scrumpy style beverage, but be warned, it is pretty strong! She always used to say that once she had had a large Cock Inn cider she would go all tingly and lightheaded.

In Kingston there's the "Fighting Cocks" pub which at one point had a mural outside with "COCKS" really big and fighting quite small.

There's a small chain of hairdressers around here called "Hairkiller"

Calpis is actually really nice. Sort of like non-fizzy yoghurt-flavoured lemonade.
