    Slug & Lettuce is a chain of "gastro" pubs I think.

    Whenever I fly out of Stansted I'm always intrigued by this place...

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

        Not a cafe, but a clothes shop in a Singapore shopping mall ...

            Not a shop, but we have a tiny place near us called 'Grunty Fen' - always raises a smile here!

                The Slug and Lettuce in Leicester is a good one, they do really good bread and olive plates...I've mystery shopped quite a few and that was one of the best.

                    there are certainly some very funny names,
                    doolittle and dalley i believe have an office in the brum area,the name rings a bell from when we went house hunting a few years back over that way.
                    Sounds like you been to leicester zazen,mistery shopped ?
                    have heard of the hair dresser's one before,but you tend to forget,until reminded,i suppose if we looked in phone book at the pups,it would raise a laugh as well.
                    anyhooo it's good to have something to giggle about.

                          Not necessarily funny - but genius in terms of naming. We had a pub in Luton once called "The Office".

                          "Where have you been all this time?"

                              Hi Lottie - yes we come to Leicester every now and then. We actually had our first date in the Cafe Bruxelles 4 and a bit years ago and went back there on Sunday to reminisce...but it was rubbish. We had a book token from Borders and the Leicester one is the nearest so that's why we came over. I did a mystery shop at a coffee shop while we were there anyway so it paid for the petrol.
