One for the amusing names pile: Fanny Chmelar

Fat Wong.
Ivor Butt

Just two of the better ones…….

Willy Sander – a bloke I used to deal with from the US. Always brought a tear to my eye!

Whilst queueing for the checkout at Tesco yesterday, my 12 year old lad pointed to the checkout lady and whispered something he should’nt have in my ear. I replied with a quick cuff around the ear and a barked “Dont you ever let me hear you say that about anybody else EVER AGAIN! Wait til i tell your mother.
It was then i noticed the checkout ladie name badge ‘Pisina Poole’

I kid you not! 😀

My lad was just trying to tell me she also works at his school!

I had a team member called Particia MyCock, not normally a problem but she was hard of hearing and when answering the phone would announce her name Pat MyCock very loudly. I never tired of laughing but tried to keep her on correspondence rather than phones

I once interviewed a guy called Satnam

IIRC Satnam Rana is a presenter on Midlands Today

Also used to go to school with a lad called Michael Hunt. He was a big lad and anyone calling him ‘Mike’ would be flattened.

We also have a colleage in our USA offices who is called Weining. Since we only ever hear from him when there’s a problem his name is somehow appropriate.

Alec Dick. He was a really nice guy I knew via work but not nice enough for that.

When I lived in Hong Kong I came across Kontrol Kong, Hitler Wong, Spoon Poon, and … wait for it … Fanny Pong!
