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

I once taught a James Bond, he looked just like the Milky Bar kid though.

@JudgeJ

How weird, I was at school with a James Bond, who also looked like the milky bar kid. I'm old though, so it would be very unlikely to be the same one unless you are in your 90s

Client called Russell sprout. I had Robert roberts in my primary class which struck me as unimaginative even there

At one point ds had the following at his school -
Mrs early the breakfast club supervisor
Mr perfect the headteacher
Mr name of county we live in - the class teacher

It was like a real life mr men book

Not exactly funny... but we heard someone in our office struggling with the name of a customer - the more she tried to say it, the worse it got. By the time she had to pass the call to one of us, we were in hysterics. Phoentically - " Mrs Erm-Boo-Voo" (Mbvu I think)
