My daughter told me about a friend of hers who is launching a some Christmas crackers this year called Crackers without the Crap. Apparently they are plastic free and filled with bee friendly seeds which I thought was a lovely idea. I know there is a crowdfunding campaign gor them so I will be asking DD for the link to support it. Anyway, as soon as I heard the name I thought I would never forget it! I got to thinking of other clever comapny names or taglines that stick in your memory, I remember once visiting a chip shop called the Codfather!

There's a lovely reflexologist in Hersham. She thinks of her clients as family and calls her practice The Sole Society.

Not quite a company name but there was a while ago a building firm called
‘Patel and Sons’ - or similar. Underneath the name was the line
‘You’ve tried the cowboys - now try the Indians.’ I thought it was brilliant.

Hello,
Please warn your daughter’s friend that there are already lots of these crackers on the market.
We bought a box a few years ago. There was choice even then. Would expect even more choice now.
