Also on hols in France we ate in an Italian restaurant which offered 'Stuffed Vegetarians'...

...now I'm a meat eater myself but have nothing against those poor grazers!

There was an insurance advert on the tv last night - on living tv - for a company called HISCOX.

pronounced his - cox. Surely they could have come up with a better name???

That's a genuine surname, I have a friend with it too.
Personally, one of my favourites is the Portuguese bread maker 'Bimbo'.

When I was working in Finland a few years back, I came across a brand of aerosol windscreen de-icer called "Super Piss".

I had heard that Scandinavians sometimes just stand on the bonnet and hose down the windscreen if it's frozen (well, the male ones anyway), so maybe that's where the name came from...

I passed a maternity shop on the way in today and noticed they sell a Swedish brand of maternity wear called Boob. That must be deliberate though - in the logo, the Os have dots in the middle to look like nipples...

I'm still dumfounded why they renamed Jif to Cif.

I'm not into washing my dishes with some type of venereal disease.
