I'm pretty sure you will find out that it was Van Morrison who set up Morrisons. He's originally from Bradford.
He also invented the delivery van.

Yes, but it was actually created by a panel including Van Morrison and Edward Holden (Amanda Holden's grandfather) recruited by Australian government in need of ute for farmers. Hence the name panel van in England.

Whenever an Eddie Stobart van and a Norbert Dentressangle van meet, they have fight to the death.
They do this by either by playing chicken or by pulling into the motorway services where the drivers fight with long Highlander swords to the death. They keep these swords locked in a box behind the relaxing tiger rug/Confederate flag/Nudie calendar that they keep pinned behind their seats. -

Big lolz! Dr Oetker has always been viewed with sinister suspicion in the Lucifer household!
Glad you cleared that up.

The band 'Flock of Seagulls' got their name from when they used to hang about seaside towns, screaming madly into people's faces and stealing their chips.
The fucking stupid hair came much later on.

The car maker Bentley, part of the Volkswagen Group, was created by Walter Owen Fentley in 1919. It was renamed WO Bentley only few years later, because customers always misheard owner's name.

Rumbelows is a curious gastric disturbance caused by the excessive imbibence of a sailor's favourite tipple. As the alcohol hits the duodenum the whole muscular cavity convulses, producing a low growling sound, and even the occasional effervescent vapour from the sufferers lips.
An electrical and televisual rental establishment that ran from 1969 to 1995 named themselves after this curious biological phenomena, because telly is little more than bright, glowing, noisy shite, belched into the faces of unwary individuals whether they wanted it to happen or not.
Something like that I think that because the BBC now owns Wikipedia they are not allowed to mention brand names.
