Wayne Ankers
Editor(Yorkshire Live)

Not far from me they named a street Ankers lane. Enough room at the front for a W to be inserted so they rewrote the sign so the A is squashed to the front. Always makes me chuckle when I drive past.

“End Of Care” is typically not who you want to be introduced to in hospital

I’ve not heard of ‘end of care’. Isn’t it ‘end of life care’?

Oh, also, worked with a pharmacist called A. Doctor which was a confusing signature to see on prescriptions they'd checked.
