The worst first name I ever came across was Dickon. I told him not to call me MR Smith so asked him his first name which he was clearly trying to hide. He was based in lewisLewis.

Thereafter I agreed let's just stick with MR Green.

When I was in my teens, there was a lassie round here with huge mammary glands called May Twogood. She was a keen tennis player and played at the local tennis club. We used to sit ootside the surrounding fence on a wee hillock and watch her playing. She was the best supported player in the club by a mile. :lol:

Worked in a building with a tannoy system too. It was operated by a rather large girl who was asked to broadcast that a certain Mr Jarse was in reception ....." There's a Hugh Jarse , Hugh Jarse in reception"  She didn't take it well at all when she heard the laughter round the building. :shock:

 Once as a new start I was told by a very senior guy who I thought was beyond humour, that a woman who worked in the building who had a pair that made Dolly Parton look flat chested was called Mrs Biggins. I never twigged. That didn't end well ! :lol:
