Well clearly it's a pun on B&Q's name so there very well are trademark
issues. It's a stupid name for a shop anyway.

It was explained what B & Screw came from. Daft trade name, and the singular
verbs are in such unforgiveable, coarse taste anyway.
Very few people ever knew what the abbrevn B & Q stood for, myself included.
The odd unfairness, maybe.
