My local Chinese takeaway is called the 'Tasty Wok', and is very good indeed. Food excellent, prepared quickly, staff friendly and efficient.
However, I had something of a shock when I phoned to place an order the other day. Usually I'd just drop in on the way home. 'Tasty Wok' is a good name for a Chinese takeaway when written down, but when spoken, it sounds rather too much like "Taste Ewok". And when people answer the phone, they sometimes use a question intonation tone, so it sounds like an offer or a question....
