Know a gardener, he's got 'probably the best gardener in the world' (Carlsberg) on the side of his van. Thought it was brilliant.

Many funny names can looks really amateuristic though, gotta be careful.

There is a van round here called "The Window Doctor". He's not a window cleaner he replaces blown double glazing.

When I worked at Kodak there was a bloke called Mike Hunt who worked on the floor below us. A girl in our office called Cathy used to take great delight in announcing in a very loud voice "I'm going downstairs to see Mike Hunt"

A. P. Rick ? "I'd have to be A. P. Rick to clean windows in this weather mrs"

My friend Rob is semi retired but has a really good business doing repairs and a bit of decorating. He calls himself "Odd Job Bob" which started out as being his nick name down the pub.
