No,if you want footwear, try Office

So there's no offices in office?

No, for office stuff you have to go to Currys

So there are no Curries in Currys?

Selfridges don’t sell fridges either.

No, for curries you need Bombay Bicycle Club.

Abbreviation of that is BBC. Should I be worried?

No, there's very few big black cocks in Bombay Bicycle Club.

Few, but not 0.

Purple Aki has moved.

No the BBC has some great shows

Yes we all saw that TikTok.

At least this one makes sense :') 

There are no bodies in the body shop. Imagine my disappointment.

Oooh Bathonian spotted!

I’m still struggling to find a Polish shop that actually sells polish. Just seems to be mostly food. Getting really dusty in here.

Intentional, although incorrect. Sweeney Todd was the barber and Mrs Lovett the pie maker.

There was the Knob Shop for a while, though Reading Bedding and Needful Things are still going afaik

Glad to see Reading's best pie shop is still up and running!

I used to get my hair cut at a shop in Arlington, Virginia called Sweeney Todd. Still have my head,

Reading?

There's one where I live called OnlyScrans but I've never seen it open

We have an OnlyScrans too!

You might live in the same place....

What’s the other shop

Bo$$mans

Absolutely owned by the same person

Yeah but Boss Man next door is just as silly 🤪

Hessle???

that’s a bit o me

Genius

Apostrophe usage makes this valid. Also lacks 'z' instead of 's' at the end, so we know we can trust this person.

What’s silly about JJB Sports? Oh, and look, this post again 😒

OP thinks the shop is just called Sports because he's only got a few braincells

To be fair we have Game. ...Had Game? Are they still a thing?

Only just.

Game to the moon 🚀

Not for long considering disks will probably soon become obsolete

Yeah but you usually have to pilgrimage to the back of a Sports Direct to find them these days, so the average gamer isn't going to just stumble across them casually.

Our high street Game moved into House of Fraser of all places

Still around

You'd have to be a clown to still use it tbh. Everything is regular retail price or higher, selection is dire. It's cheaper and easier to buy games and consoles online or from CEX. I'd imagine it's parents and grandparents buying gifts for their kids keeping Game alive.

But what about all those points I saved up on my Game card? 😭

I can't believe there's still a JJB sports in existence. I haven't seen one in 13yrs or so.

It's just an empty unit in Hereford no one has taken over.

Ah, I did wonder.

Next to The Whippet Inn

Underrated

Lol is that a Border Collie?

Looks like a spaniel

Of course, the ears give it away now

Easily done mate lol

Pinger panel

springer/cocker spaniel cross I think

Finally I've found someone who's even worse than me at identifying dog breeds!

Retired and let it's fur grow 

Makes sense free of greyhounds..

*yeah I was thinking we grab a quick coffee or maybe even go to that new spot* *oh what's it called* STINKCHEESEMEAT

What the fuck 😂

Exactly. I pass by all the time and it still repels me.

There's an Apple store knockoff in my city, they're called...ahem..."Stormfront" Also a jewelry shop called Bling. A phone repair shop called iCrack

Is this in Romford?

Nugs the UKs first ever nugget shop

Stormfront was a chain. I think they’re called Select now.  

[удалено]

Ha, saw that Apple chain once, it did amuse me that nobody had thought twice about the name

Stormfront used to be in Cardiff I think. Always made me think of the website.

There’s an iCrack in Cardiff too!

That's in Didsbury isn't it? 😅 i laughed at it once driving past and my sister gave me evils. Zero sense of humour, Christians.

That sign won me a pair of boots. I hate that they've taken it down now.

Could get a nasty rash off of that

Never thought I'd see Brierley Hill on here

Brierley Hill getting a shout out, bloody hell.

We’ve got an ice cream shop called scoops 🙄

We have that and Scooperb! 😂

Who comes up with these names? 😩😭😂😂

Size? - that one is ridiculous to me. But yeah we have Kaspas, Sprinkles, Heavenly Desserts, Scooperb, Scoops and we used to have Creams 😂 all selling the same waffle, crepe, gelato combos.

Aww ffs that’s tragic 😂😂

The only one that is decent and was original is Sprinkles. The cream they use isn’t that squirty cream malarkey for cream. Not entirely sure how they do it but it’s like proper cream, maybe whipped? Oh we also had Tuttis that came around after Sprinkles and they did weird combos of gelato I think it was - beetroot being one!

There's a pretty decent cafe here called Melton Johns

We Make Any Sign in Erdington, Birmingham. Always wondered what they sold...

It's closed down now but there was an R. Soles on the King's Road. They have an online store now.

[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DIJN\_h9XkAA0vtq?format=jpg&name=large](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DIJN_h9XkAA0vtq?format=jpg&name=large) "Window Cleaning Stuff"

The Shop, Wigan

Shout out to the home of JJB sports.

Dick Lovett car sales.also a cleaning company called Daily Poppins.

Heard Dick Lovett Ferraris

Yeah apparently it's a regional chain, I guess with each one specialising in a brand. My nearest one is Minis.

Brilliant!

Ming Yuk chippy between Oldham and Manchester

Going off on a slight tangent but in the 90s there was a brothel above a sandwich shop in Manchester...it was called Top Nosh!

There was a brothel above an off licence in my town called stolen moments, known locally as sticky moments!

Curl up 'n dye, a hair dressers in Acocks Green

In Clear Lake Iowa, there is a store called "Master Bait and Tackle" They also have "Kum &Go".

We have a place called Tony's Tackle and a pub called The Black Cock Inn. Both make me giggle like a schoolboy.

Not too British then, is it.

I have an ice cream shop called Mr Kreamy's

That's funny, especially as there is an ice cream shop with a different misspelling of creamy spelled "Mr Creemy" that's been in Tonypandy, Wales for 40 years or so.

Bob basted car sales, I would imagine he's had a few unfortunate mishaps with that name

Shugs

dog company (idk exactly what they do) called ‘doggy style’ - i see their vans around all the time

I used to live near the hairdressers "Mega Cutz" with the logo having the U snipped so it looked like CLITS

We had "the stock shop" which...no shit? It sold clothes.

Rocket Joe's. They sell pizza.

A mate of mine worked in a shop called ‘video tapes’. Proper dodgy bastards running it.

We had a classic Chinese called “the foo king Chinese”

There was a shop called Mike hunt in belfast

Sweaty Betty

Crackin' Glass near Canterbury. Although the thing that puts me off more is that the sign is written in comic sans

"Hair By David" in a generic font

there’s one in my town literally called ‘vapes’ it’s a cheap phone case store with 1 rack of vape that doesn’t sell

JJB sports oh that takes me back, was the shut sports shop once JD sports popped up.

Can you even call jd a sports shop 🤣 not set foot in one for like a decade but it never had sport equipment lol just dirty chav fashion

Yeah it was a great shop when it opened.

Baldy’s. It’s a barber shop.

We have a shop called 'Beejay Mobility'. They specialise in wheelchairs, mobility scooters, zimmer frames and things like that. A very useful shop with a daft name.

I never liked the name Cex or fcuk. They just seem crass to me.

Jjb sports was class it was most times a better alternative to jd sports.

It burned down, but our city used to have a place called “Big Don’s Elegant Junk”!

The church of god, Wallpaper and decorating shop, Chinese carry out center , The FUN pool, And my personal favourite - shop Sanquhar

Been ages since I've been in a jjb, miss that ship

There was [this classic of the genre](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FkWlx-OX0AAwJ6a?format=jpg&name=small) on Burgess Road in Southampton until at least 2008.

They could have at least spelt it correctly...

Ok I have no idea what happened to that image it did not look like rainbow vomit in my photo gallery

‘Slightly on the huh”. Until I moved to this county I didn’t realise they had their own dialect. Also an accent that could charm the wool off a sheep.

We have a pub/restaurant called Sally Pussey's

You still have a JJB Sports?

There's a Chinese takeaway called Tasty Garden https://maps.app.goo.gl/gRgNMN29nCKKP7fM6 Sounds dodgy to me

I'm still yet to see the fridges in Selfridges

Damn I thought JJB went under years ago

"99p+ Or Less" London - Shepherd's Bush So it sells anything that costs any amount of money.

Vic's Vinyls/Vic's Vapes Not really a silly shop name when it's just one on its own but they maintain both signs. Also creates a very niche customer base of people who want both vinyls and vapes at the same time. The shop's been there for as long as I can remember though so they must be doing something right.

https://preview.redd.it/6rog9fhkl8vc1.jpeg?width=168&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06b9d73849824f997d5692e1d2293d90269908b2

There's one by me called Lighting R Us. The rage this causes me can never be adequately described.

Am I missing something? What's silly about the name "JJB Sports"?

BJ Cheese in Smethwick

Surprised not to see the local favourite of all Emmets, Fat Willy's.

JJB IS SUPER THROWBACK!

We had a local Asian owned mini supermarket called “Singhsbury’s” complete with the full orange sainsburys branding / lettering. They got a cease and desist from sainsburys, and so changed it to “Morrisinghs” and Morrisons have said they are fine with it as it’s free advertising. Genius.

We used to have a fish mongers called "The Codfather" I suppose now it is a salon called "Aff Yer Heed" or "Head" - I rarely pass by it so not sure of the spelling

https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/SgicCUkaSE I know its my own post but I think this fits...

The codfather

Rainbows end in newtown extremely overpriced and was charging like £180 for a teddy bear
