Sadly gone bust now, but there used to be a place in Newport called 'Sofa King'

Tagline "Our price are Sofa King low"

You could try a Chinese takeaway from the Kum Tong in Bridgenorth.

I'm sure I remember seeing a big Jag driving round locally with "East Anglian Erections" written on the side.

Can't actually recall the name but there was an Indian builder near where I was a kid whose van had 'You've used the cowboys now try the Indians' on the side.

There's a Sofa King in Northampton who use the "Sofa King Low" tag line. There is also this company in the same town -

I've seen one like that in Bradford, think they were a plumbers or plumbers merchants. Not recently mind

I'll try and get a photo later but there's a Schindlers Lifts van parked up round my way, always makes me chuckle. Every time.

I was working in our Wakefield office a bit back when the silence was fractured by what sounded like an ice cream van playing the Batman theme tune.

Turned out to be a sandwich van, named "The Bap Man."

This niche [url= http://www.learn2drivewithpmt.co.uk/ ]driving school[/url] makes me laugh every time I see the car about.

There's also a JSM driing school round here too, seeing a huge lorry with JSM all down the side brings out my childish side.

No word of a lie, when I first left college I briefly had a job doing telesales to businesses. One of the firm on our hit list was the manufacturer of the TeasMaid. Whenever anyone needed a giggle we used to call them and hear the well spoken receptionist greet the caller with "We're Goblin!" Childish but still makes me smile.
