My daughter Megs is meeting an old school friend in town tonight for a few beers. Her name is Lindsey Death and her mum's got a Phd....makes me smile anyway - Rob

I had a customer with that name, we were chastised by her and was made to spell it De'ath and pronounced Dee Ath, however we all knew she was Mrs Death, you could tell buy the eyes!!!

Do you remember Minder, with thingy and wotsisname? George somebody or other. Arthur Daley, that's right. I remember in one episode they were dealing with a firm of undertakers called De'Ath & Co.

Never was to be taken too seriously.

I also have a customer with the surname of De'ath. Strange, I'd love a surname people can understand

I used to work with a Lieutenant Death. Everyone hoped he would make Admiral or at the very least Captain.

My mum's best friend at school was Theresa Green.....and she worked with a consultant call Onions who insisted on it being pronounced O' Nions.

Cheers

Austin Healey must have cursed his parents 'sense of humour' a few times I expect.

I used to work with a Mercedes, lovely girl, poor lass never understood the Brit sniggers or the even crueller 'taxi!' that was heard on a couple of ocasions from a European traveller.

But my favourite was a Miss Marina Morris, another lovely lass. At least Austin had sporting pretensions on his side, but Marina?....I never had the heart to even raise an eyebrow.

Aren't parents cruel?!

Can you imagine what this guy went through in his school days,

Group Captain Richard Hampton who was the Commander of the RAF unit at the Royal Radar Establishment airfield Pershore until 6 months before its final closure.

We were very careful not to use any nicknames.

We had a presentation at work one day from a bloke called John Thomas. He started his presentation by saying "People seldom remember what I say, but they always remember my name." :lol: :lol:

Cheers :wink:

Many moons ago I was a baby radio officer in the Merchant Navy. We were invited to a party at the Italian Consulate in East Africa. The 3rd officer was a giant bear of a man. Having donned pith helmet and swagger stick, he insisted on introducing himself to our puzzled Italian comrades as Major General Fartington Splatt, District Commisioner for Ghana - Retired. He was only about 23. Happy days.
