A very odd name for a bathroom shop.

Before I begin, please note that this post says nothing about the service, products or general quality of the (I’m sure very good) company mentioned below.
This is the actual spelling on all buildings, brochures and even the company’s website. I guess it’s too late now to change it!
In a previous post I mentioned that spelling in South Africa often leaves much to be desired. The image below illustrates a teeny English misunderstanding that has gone terribly wrong. I could be wrong in thinking that the owners of the business actually wanted their shop to be called the equivalent of “that very strange and unusual bathroom shop that is frankly, just amusing” (thanks, Oxford English Dictionary), but I suspect that they actually had something like “The bathroom market” in mind when naming their company “Bathroom Bizarre”. Granted, “Bizarre” and “Bazaar” sound almost exactly the same, but if there was ever a time to check spelling, I’d say before permanently registering a major company would be it.
