Penny's Tea Shop

Penny's tea shop would have to be the most ridiculous, useless place of food i have ever know.
Honestly, who would have the name of Penny?
If you call your child Penny, you are sentencing it to a life of being a dork.
Thats right, a dork. A dork is exactly the right noun to describe a Penny.
Remember in Inspector Gadget, Inspector Gadget had a neice (or illigitemate daughter, or pedaphillic interest, whatever your view may be). She was called Penny and she was a dork. They make this very clear as she has a 'magical laptop' and her only friend is a dog she called Brain.
Poor dog.
Secondly, who would want to be associated with a tea shop?
Surely Penny's Tea House has a better ring to it. Makes you think maybe the tea there will be pre-infused in water and available for drinking.
Although this may be the case at Penny's Tea Shop, one can really only think of lots of tea being sold dry.
There are tea shops around that do indeed sell a wide variety of dried teas. However, they are not called Tea Shops. They have been given upbeat, even funky names so as to hide the staleness of the industry they are dealing in. T2. Now there's a name which can mean many things. You gotta love the pun, the word play if you will, of tea and T. Penny obviously did not think of using any literary trick with the naming of her shop. Penny's T Shop. Sounds like some sort of spoiled article of clothing.

A fine dining experience (thats right, an experience, not a restaurant), specialising in low G.I gourmet dishes in the heart of Etheopia would probably get more customers and feature more times in the food as well as the social sections of prominant newspapers, all for positive reasons, than dear old Penny's Tea Shop.

And lastly, who uses chequered table clothes anymore? Really?
