In Nailsea's High Street, we have a curry restaurant called Posh Spice.  Years ago, Victoria Beckham's legal representatives sought (apparently unsuccessfully) to prevent them from so styling themselves.  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Some 40 years ago I and a mate travelled around the Outer Hebrides - we took the sleeper from Euston and then the train down to Kyle for the ferry to Stornoway. We had some time to kill in Inverness on the way there and strolled around the town. In an arcade of shops at the north end of the bridge over the River Ness was the Ness Caf^...

There's an Aimee's Wine House in Stoke Bishop, Bristol too.
 
I guess the name was chosen before the sad death of Amy Winehouse. The name does seem in poor taste now.

There are indeed two branches of Aimee's Wine House.

And, purely for the record, Amy Winehouse's battle with alcohol abuse was in the public domain for some time before her sad death.

That's nothing compared to the organisation whose offices I passed in Gloucester last week. If they were starting again, I guess they wouldn't call it Isis.

I see no issue with Aimee continuing to operate under the name. Had they change to name to cash in on the sad demise of Ms W, they probably would have lost their custom by now.

Let's not forget the famous West Asian vendor of dairy products: Cheeses of Nazareth.
