A long long time ago, when my mum first left school, she worked in a baker's. The baker's brother owned the hardware shop and my mum was sent down to the shop to ask for a long wait. On another occasion she had to ask Mr Passmore for a tin of tartan paint......

I've also convinced an american visitor to our house when we lived in Aberdeenshire that haggis have two legs shorter on one side than the other. This enables them to walk around steep mountainsides without falling off. However, they can, of course, only walk in one direction or they'll fall over. It's the ones that have fallen over that we catch and turn into supper.

We do have a member of staff with the unfortunate surname "Smellie"... you would SO change that...

And of course Mr Richard Sitch would never, never sign his name with just his initial. And trust me there is such a surname as sitch.

We contractacted out the Canteen at work in the early 90's to an American firm.....Otis Spunkmeyer.

This is a very hairymouse thread in deed.

I used to work for a world leading science journal many years back and we always had silly name of the week, mostly from our European Authors - sadly I can't remember any.

However, if I got stopped in the street I always used to use my cats name. Over the years he had promotional offers for cigars, whiskey and jet skiing holidays to name a few!!

It always makes me chuckle to imagine him with a cigar and glass of whiskey in one paw, holding onto the ski handles with the other in Cat Heaven....

Names.

My grans late neighbour was Nora Bone (real Name)

I saw a shop assistant's name in Wilkinson's as Miss Zit. (sadly she lived up to it)

And I have used Miss Pherloolla Goatberger as my name to annoying people.

My OH works with children and has a boy whose surname is Hood. His parents must be very warped or unimaginative.

At the time of the first Gulf War (When Saddam invaded Kuwait) 1990 i think,
my grandchildren were at Walkerburn Primary School in the Borders. One of the teachers whose name was Josephine Isles was of course called Miss Isles by the children.
She quickly became known to one and all as Scud
