The low rent local Thai place is called 'Thai One On', which non-UKans of The Premier Rock Forum might not 'enjoy'.

The truck stop in Cirencester (where I grew up) was named 'Greasy Spoon'.

Gloucestershire's first balti house was named 'Balti Castle' which for some reason I still find hilarious.

Surely you mean, the Wurst.

On the edge of Whalley Range in South Manchester, there is a kebab.com. The sign looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the dot.com boom days too.

In Hull there was a pair of Fish and Chip shops called 'Paddy Cheesman's' and 'Paddy Cheeseman's II', which I think got closed down by health and safety. They were open unusally late to entrap the unsually drunk.

In Birmingham the is a cheap caf' called 'Mr. Egg', which always makes me laugh (as does the Jewish 'Egg Stores' up in Stoke Newington). Eggs are just intrinsically funny.

In Dublin there is a kebab franchise, that you see all over town, called 'Abrakebabra'. Which brings to mind 'Kebabylon', which I saw in the background of one of Peter Kay's TV shows and can only pray really exists.

There's also a kebab shop down the road from here, that has long advertised 'DONOR KEBABS'

Mmmm...donor kebabs.

Oooh...and I almost forgot the millenially themed 'Curry 2000', on the corner near my house, that was on the cutting edge of cuisine for...ooh...one whole year.

Fuck it, Cranius beat me to it.

Whilst we are on the delights of lovely, greasy donor kebabs, two more of my favourite names: Kebab Kid in Oxford (believe this may be a franchise now?) and KEBAB AND CHIPS in Banbury. Does exactly what it says on the yeah yeah yeah...

Down in Loughborough Junction, near the library I used to work at, there is a fantastically named Jamaican café:

The Hellshire Chat 'Bout

'Chat 'bout' is one of my favourite West-Indian phrases.

I've seen this very take-away, when I was up in Melton a couple of years ago. It was logged and banked.

i have seen a place called 'balti towers' but forget where

I'd like someone to open a diner called "We Serve and Protect" with Hooters-like waitresses wearing skimpy clothes styled after Chicago Police uniforms. And maybe toy guns worn on their hips with a spot in the holster for their order pads and a pen.

There is (was?) a place in NYC's Chinatown called "Chew King".
