If you're familiar with the Dave Gorman Show on Absolute Radio and its podcast, you'll no doubt be aware of Pun Street and its related side roads Fail Lane and Charming Alley.

It's a collection of shops whose names are either delightfully pun-laden, woefully under- or overthought, or just very pleasant.

Well, partly to show off the new mapping thing what I built into my CMS (that allows me to easily add locations, then drop in a map with a simple shortcode) and partly 'cos I'm like that, I thought I'd put the ones I could find on a map. Here it is.

I've not been able to find all of them - Halal, is it Meat You're Looking For still alludes me - so if you can point me in the direction of a Google Map address for any that I've missed - only ones that have been mentioned on the show, please! - then feel free.

    Dammit, a dilemma!

    I guess I'll leave that up to the chaps at Absolute Radio, but I've amended the address so it should now appear in the right place.

    Cheers bud!

    Hi,

    I'm afraid Tanz In 'Ere in Leeds no longer exists. It changed it's name to Tanz, and now seems empty and to be To Let as well :-(

    FYI, the address was 126 Potternewton Lane, Leeds, LS7 2EG if you want to add it to the map anyway.

    Cheers Chris
