Idea for a business
During one particularly refreshing liquid pub lunch, I toyed with the idea of opening a pawn shop that gave its customers pornography instead of cash in return for their unwanted junk.

I was going to call it 'Tit for Tat'.

What would your business be called?

Mine have always been
A white goods/electrical store called 'Rebel Appliance' (it could be sci-fi themed as well for added value)

And also a sweets/ice-cream etc shop called 'Dessert Storm'...military themed of course.

Don't steal them!

Just imagine
The fun to be had dreaming up advertisements and marketing campaigns for them...

'That's no moon...but it is ridiculously cheap televisions' and others that actually make sense, or are amusing

I actually am doing this....
I'm putting together a business plan to open a net cafe / cafe / game shop / general geek place, and I'm desperately trying to think of a decent name.... "GameHaven" is the best one I can come up with so far. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Coffee/Book Store
where you can buy coffee and books and sit on beanbags and comfy chairs to read the books and drink the coffee. My friend and I were going to do this together and she wanted to call it "The Importance of Brewing Earnest" and I wanted to call it "StarBooks".

However, with the latter name, anyone with a Lancashire accent wouldn't get the joke because they pronounce it that way anyway. Heathens.
