You have reminded me of some teachers at school (I will not be disclosing how long ago :))

Head Master - Mr TITLEY

Deputy Head - Mr HEAD

& a teacher called Mrs ALLCOCK

these names as you can imagine caused much amusement for secondary school pupils.



....................Imagine calling your child Harry Hunt....................:lol:

Back in the early 80s while working for Grampian Health Board, we all knew of Dr Donald Duck from Mallaig (wonder if this is why a doctor is sometimes called a quack :rofl: ). Just googled him and found this:

I worked in a doctor's office for years and we had lots of patients with odd names over the years...
Hazel Urine and Dick Smallbone are the two that stand out in my mind.

Well we know that!

When I started working back in the early 90's the email system at my then employer was called 'Wang Office'. That spawned a host of double-entendre type expressions...'just wang me', 'send me a wang', 'I'm wanging her now' etc etc. Hours of fun.
