Interesting Names

I’m always fascinated by the interesting names some people create for their business. The Chinese are really imaginative with names like “Truly Best Box Shop” selling cardboard boxes. I remember a furniture store in Singapore with a sign outside “Genuine Vinyl”. Saudi Arabia can be almost as interesting with the “Fatburger” fast food outlet and today I noticed “Fog Town”!

 

Why name your business “Fog Town” when it sells printing and stationary supplies?

The can of Texas Strawberries from dinner last night have worked a treat. My neighbours were probably woken thinking it was a local “simoom” which is a nasty cyclonic wind from the Arabian desert. The rough English translation is “poison wind”, which is probably appropriate! I feel several kilo’s lighter. Looks like dinner tonight will be kebarbs. I’m down to my last box and can then move on to the large box of beef patties <yummm>. The bananas are starting to look over-ripe which probably means it’s time for another attempt at baking a banana cake. What’s the saying “That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger!”
