A Vodafone door to door salesman was doing the rounds on our road earlier with the latest offers that aren't available online apparently... anyway he left his business card and when I saw his name I had to LOL as it was Robin Crowe! His family must love bird names Grin

Whenever I see a new article about the head of the Met Police I always wonder... did she start her career as PC Dick? (Or WPC Dick, I'm guessing she started when it was still segregated like that?)

@MeanWeedratStew

Decades ago, my granny found a wedding notice in the paper, informing the reader that a lady with the surname Drinkwater had married a man with the surname Wee.

She cut it out to show us. Sounds like a match made in heaven, don't you think?

I saw a local civil partnership notice for a Mr Cumming and a Mr Creamer. I so hope they double-barrelled!
