Not much

[ladyofastolat]

Seeing an establishment called "Alfie's" in Winchester today, right next to the King Alfred statue, I was most disappointed to see that it was not, in fact, a cake shop. Even though it wasn't, I did them amuse myself during tedious moments in my seminar with thoughts on unfortunate business names. I'm always quite amused by "Viking Blinds", which seems to me to be lacking an object. I like seeing the names of Greek gods applied to prosaic things like plumbing. I do think that coastal management organisations really ought to be called "Canute."

Then, on the way home, I saw a news-stand with the headline "Saints and Wolves in thriller battle", or some such. What a lovely image!
