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

Knew a James Bond once. He used the Bond line on everyone he met and bafflingly thought he was God’s gift.

I once had a supervisor called Theresa Greene which was her married surname and she apparently didn’t connect that her name sounds like “trees are green” until she returned to work and everyone laughed at her. Poor thing. She was so lovely!
