Bobba Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I do enjoy the use of a play on words to draw attention to a business. Three here in Bristol which are popular are:- Jason's Donna Van, Bare Grills, The Cod Almighty. I'll keep on looking. Any PW member have any other genuine examples from their area?
