Orgella
At dinner last friday talk got on to the important topics of the day: why is it that hairdressers, gas-fire shops, and chip shops all feel the need to have punning names. The usual discussion of "The Better Hearth", "The Grate Place", and "Fishey Storeys" [I don't get it either] took place. But Roland and Helen had one to trump us all. In Easingwold there is a hairdressers called
"Orgella". Why?. Well the owners favorite car was an Austin Allegro [which is pretty amazing in itself] and so she spelt it backwards for the name of her shop. A good choice? You decide. http://www.thelocalweb.net/ListingByID.asp?id=%20725127
