Carphone, Stagecoach, these Brits really seem to like naming their companies after obsolete technology.
- gsnedders 8y agoVery different examples: Carphone Warehouse originally sold carphones; Stagecoach only came about a long time after stage coaches were obsolete.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoStrange that, considering the companies were founded and named when the technology was still current. Of course "Carphone Warehouse" (the trading name of the company that merged with Dixons to become Dixons Carphone) probably does sound incredibly strange to anyone who wasn't alive in the carphone era, but they were a strong high street brand so I can see why they stuck with it.
