Oz Life (I): Shop Names (OJG)
I will start my series on Australian Life with a cunning title I like to call Shop Names.
After much study into the subject I have deducted that Australia uses mad scientists to name the majority of their shops. Half of these mad scientists know that they have gone over the edge, whilst the other half have yet to realise their true standing.
As such, the names fall into two categories.
The first category is where the scientists have created hundreds of wormholes into new worlds: Garden-World; Watergarden-World; Bed-World; Retic-World; Horse-World; Saddle-World; Guitar-World; Camping-World; Machine-World; Pine-Furniture-World; Travel-World; Battery-World... to name but a few! Yes, they have links to every conceivable world. Amazing.
The second category is where the scientists have realised their madness, and frankly just named the shop after themselves: Crazy Clarks; Crazy Pedros; Crazy Dons; Crazy Jons; Crazy Eddys... and so on. To be honest, some of those Crazys might be Krazy with a K, but hey who's counting!
It goes without saying that if I were to open a shop with guaranteed success, it would be called Crazy World!
