Perhaps it’s a Yorkshire trait, this naming fish and chip shops or indeed any retail outlet, with some sort of play on words. I’ve featured Codraphenia here before which is a small fish and chip shop in Walkley and has a drawing of a fish on a scooter in the window.
I’ve been to Sheffield again and on the bus up to Walkley ( again) spotted this one.
I mentioned it to my son who lives in these parts and he said that least it’s not as bad as the hairdressers around the corner who’s name is ” Curl up and Dye”. They’ve closed down. Serves them right.
The Frying Scotsman in Didsbury circa 1969 was my first experience of the phenomenon.
So it started in Lancashire, oh dear.
Well it’s clever! I saw a van the other day that said “Some s*** is going down!” Guess it was a plumber!
