So...

[alt_gredforge]

We're trying to come up with a name for our business. We've decided we want to do some research and development to investigate opening up something like a joke shop. Like Zonko's, maybe, only better, with a constantly renewing product line. So we need a name that suggests fun. Innovation. And excitement. And, of course, features our family name prominently, because we think it deserves a bit of promotion.

How about 'Weasley Wizardly Whizbangs' ?

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll keep trying. We're not sure we've hit it yet.

Do you have joke shops in France? What are they called?

I don't think that 'wit' is going to be much involved, knowing Gred and Forge. Something much more low brow.

Oh, thanks a lot!

It's a compliment. I like low brow.

Well okay then. Good thing you're friends with us.

We have some, yes. They're called magasins des farces but they're mostly filled with things that only half work. Some corking crackers, though. And old bits of plastic rubbish. My Mother doesn't generally let me go in them, but I went with a tutor once or twice and we lit off a few firecrackers in the back garden.

Oh, we love firecrackers. Rockets, Catherine wheels, all sorts of stuff. That will definitely be part of our inventory.
