There's a plaice for us! Fun puns help brighten the high street

It is the time of year for my favourite competition - the national quest to find the slickest use of a retail pun.

In previous years we have had the "Curl up and dye" hair salon and the fish mongers "A Plaice for us" .

In the increasingly uniform world of clone high streets there is less and less that is unique, fun and distinctive.

The retailers who come up with shop names like these are a welcome antidote to the bland chain stores that occupy so much of our high street.

This years pick of retail puns:

• The male grooming establishment - Barber Blacksheep
• The glass retailer - Pane in the Glass
• The cattery - The Pawchester Hotel
• The kebab outlet - Licence to Fill

Please let me know if you have a nomination @chrisitv
