Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Dunlop Tyre and Rubber sales director a few years ago was Mr Skidmore, my other half went to school with Penny Nutt, Oxford phone book used to have one Robert Sole (geddit?), and a lady called Pearl on Radio 4 one day announced she had married a chap called Mr Harber. Finally, in Thames Valley Police there's a PC Ham. ETA it's Ham not as I originally though, Bacon. Either would do but when they sent him to my daughter's school to speak to the girls some lass from the back shouted "I smell pig!" Quote

yellow perilous Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 A guy in my office - Colin Green and married Prescila, so we had C. Green and P. Green and yes you've guessed it! they had a daughter and named her Olive. A very environmentally friendly family! Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Ah I forgot the monumental masons (gravestones) in Park Royal called Alfred Tomes. Their representative's name is John Doe. You couldn't make it up. There was a dentist in Barnet area called I M Screech (spelling might be wrong - I only caught a glimpse of it) and one in Hammersmith called D R Phang. These are all real and I even have a picture of the Phang shop window somewhere. Quote

samcooke Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Personally, I can't imagine how it must feel to have a famous name. Though if I had to guess, I'd say b*****d annoying. Quote
