In a town local to us, Wirksworth, there is a chemist shop, the owners are Mr & Mrs Pain. In another town, Clitheroe, there is a butchers owned by the Cowman's.
There must be loads of coincidental shop names around, any near you?
Happy New Year by the way!

Phil,
The first two doctors, this was years ago, in the town in which I used to live were Dr. Payne and Dr. Hertz.

Near my hometown in New Hampshire there was an insurance company named "Burns". His motto was "Insure with Burns before it Burns".
