Trading on Dave Jones' good name?

[lawrencebillson]

An electronics component shop called Dav Jones. Can this be a coincidence?


Spotted on a work trip to Sim Lim Tower in Singapore.

They have a web site at http://davjones.com/index.htm

Let's not forget the surname Jones is very common in Wales and therefore any British territories of old. David is hardly uncommon either.

Nice catch.

Let's not forget Dave's other line of retail merchandise.

The new EEVblog lab after I speak to my accountant:

 What's maybe a little interesting is that the history section on the David Jones web site has an under construction picture of that building.
 And if that ends up being the new EEVBlog lab I'll eat a pair of Dave's thongs    <green sick looking smiley we don't have>

Apparently my name too.  The place next to it has my initials.

[rrinker]

 Well I was using it in the Aussie sense of the word, because I don't even want to KNOW if Dave wears what we call thongs.

You also have Dave's American twin showing you how to move a car around in your living room ->
