A report has found that companies with quirky or outlandish names are doing better during the recession than those with more mainstream titles. A full list is on http://www.2fm.ie but here are some examples;



Pubs: The Stagger Inn in Roscommon and The Cat Dragged Inn in Dublin.

Food Transport Company: Poultry in Motion.

Ironing services: Northern Iron in (London)Derry, and Ironing Bored in Dublin.

Asian Restaurant: Thai Tanic in Belfast.
