Great but ultimately doomed business ideas

Here's mine: John Shuttleworth Car Tours

Buy a Y reg Austin Ambassador and hire it out by the day to Shuttleworth fans. Provide attire - someone gets to be John, who will drive (John's job), someone gets to be Mary, and if a third person insists on coming they get to be Ken (complimentary Malibu for every Ken).

Starting in Walkley, Sheffield, provide customers with a map (Mary's job to read the map) of relevant locations to visit, e.g. Youlgreave to try and locate young Toby's 8 track home studio, some pigeon lofts.

All of John's cassettes available to play on the Ambassador's tape player. Stripy picnic chairs in the boot if they fancy a picnic by one of the reservoirs (John's job to get the chairs out).

Would give it two months.

I doubt the Ambassador would be servicable for two months straight, never mind anything else.

My dad one day had a crap name for a beauty salon in his head - Naildos, if I recall, which was supposed to be like Dildos.

I said "crap name. How about handjobs and facials?'

Then for years later, he would ask me when I was gonna copyright that name for a beauty salon.
