In Glasgow there’s hundreds of top-class takeaways, hairdressers, and other shops - so what better way to make your business stand-out than giving it a funny and memorable name?
From Florist Gump to Bacchialdi’s - an Italian restaurant found round the back of Aldi’s - there’s many examples in the West of Scotland.
We all like to think Glasgow has the best patter - but with the amount of Airdrie representation on the list you might think that to get a business in the town you have to make the planning application panel a laugh.
Here’s our list of the 15 funniest pun names in and around Glasgow! Know any that are funnier? Let us know in the comments!
