There's a bar in Hurghada in Egypt that has the letters P,U & B on the front of the building.

Whoever put the letters up was an Arabic speaker, as on the side of the building a second sign spells, "BUP!'

"Used to see fans around Bow belonging to a locksmith called Bow Locks."

Before they re-vamped the roads in that area there was a sign announcing 'British Waterways Bow Locks' which you could see when coming or going via the Blackwall Tunnel.

There is a Christian bookshop chain in South Africa. Their name is Afrikaans - Christelike Uitgewermaatskappy (Christian Publishing Company). Unfortunately (and totally unironically) they use their acronym for their shops. We used to have a Beavis and Butthead moment every time we were in the local mall and walked past the large, bright neon sign for

"CUM Books"

Scaffolding company near me, used to be called BJ Champion. All his vans were signwritten.

Now he's expanded his business its Champion Builders.

It's just not the same snigger value....
