This is a fun thing to participate in. Put your thinking caps on and see if you can think of any fictitious company names (script) that can be used on a van that have double entendre or humorous meaning just for fun...such as:

DUN A SCARPER AND SONS
FURNITURE REMOVAL

Can you think of any?

There was an antiques dealer in Greenwich when I was at uni, living in New Cross and occasionally passing through who's business was named Robin B'Stard... he was either very honest or had a sense of humour. I am unsure which as I didn't frequent his establishment.

Many of the businesses at Bekonscot model village have humorous names on the hoardings, signs and vans, but I am blowed if I can remember any of them.

There's a handyman/painter & decorator in Scarborough who has "One Coat Colin" painted (by hand) on his van. Tells you all you need to know...

And of course the famous firm of Newcastle solicitors Haddaway & Shytemann
