The synth poppers Neil
Tennant (vocals, keyboards and occasionally some guitar) and Chris Lowe (keys)
have not met each other in a pet shop, as many sources would have us believe.
Neil and Chris worked in a London store that sold consumer electronics.
It is true though that friends of the duo had a job in a pet shop in the Ealing district; that fact is said to have been the inspiration for the name Pet Shop Boys.

There are persistent rumours however that come down to the name revealing
that Neil and Chris are so-called felchmongers: people who delight in using
some lubricant and a cardboard tube that you can find in a toilet or kitchen
roll to get furry pets (hamsters, Guinea pigs and perhaps a ferret every now and
then) up into the digestive system from below.
We don’t know exactly how this
works, and frankly we would rather hug a hungry great white shark (m/f) than investigate this matter any further.Active: 1981-present, GBR
