There was a BMW dealership in Harrogate owned by Eric Hunt, but all his signs said Eric G. Hunt, boring man.

Many moons ago I used to work with a Mike Hunt. On a plant shutdown I needed to get hold of him or his side kick, Tony Havercroft, who were sharing a walkie-talkie. Convinced that I couldn’t say Mike Hunt over the radio without cracking up I went for the safe option, but got it all wrong and called him Tony Hovercraft. He wasn’t impressed.

I have worked with a Mr Mann, Ben Down met a Mr Tickle who pronounced it tickel. Had to put a tannoy call out for a Mrs Verjee who did surprisingly not respond to the Mrs Virgin announcement. Went out a few times with a guy with the surname Bucket. Also knew a guy whose name was Keiron Burke he always said his name was Keiron Neil Oswald Burke not too sure how true that was.

Not unfortunate, the bloke was just plain stupid, he burned out his moped to claim on the insurance, which he later found out was only covered for 3rd party.

Doctors Cox and Bottom
My wife knows a Dr Pepper, Dr Death, and of course Doc Martin.
Recent one of her mates, Dr Wright married a Dr Payne. We suggested they go for a double-barrelled surname, but they strangely refused.
