In a world where the high street is on the wane, it takes some real marketing nous for Britain’s high street stores to keep bringing in the customers.

Luckily for Britain’s small business owners, there’s long been a tradition in the UK of attracting shoppers with nothing but an ironic name.

Stephen Mangan, a comedian and actor known for I’m Alan Partridge and Green Wing, asked Twitter for the ‘Worst ever pun for the name of a business’.

Twitter graciously responded by bringing Mangan some of the worst/best pun names that the UK has to offer.

Here are 16 of the most devastating puns seen out on the British high street of late.
