In an old job of mine, we had a client called Guy Naylor... and he did swing in the direction that his name suggests.

I kid you not... we had a Draughtsman, who had to sign a lot of drawings, so the archive has a lot of his for posterity!

Called Wayne Anker... that's how he signed ... probably the best he could do?.

What possessed his parents to give he the "W" initial to the surname !!

maybe they liked the johnny cash record "boy named sue"

nice bloke tho'.

Used to sell golf balls to a certain Mr P J B*stard, bet his kids were little b*stards. Also dealt with the Fook Me stationery company in Hong Kong.
My mother worked for Mrs Orchard who called her daughter Cherry (cruel woman!!). My Dad worked with a certain Cyril Thickpenny. And finally had a customer called John Condon whose surname was frequently mis spelt.
Oh and my wifes aunt is Audrey Pratt
All strange but true!
