Dan and I worked beside a woman called Nesta Kettles. Dan told me her sister was called Lydia and for years I believed him. In fact he only told me it was made up a few months ago. ;D

In my time as a Secretary to a Sales Director, I used to ask the name of the caller before transferring him to my very strait laced boss.  Had some strange named people, but the two who stick in my mind, and they were realy called this was Mr Crowsfoot, and Mr Cobbledick.  The poor men must have got used to strange looks when asked their name, and probably got asked to repeat it on the phone, when people said PARDON?

We were in Argos waiting for our item to come through. The assistants would get the receipts and shout the customers name.

Mr Smith, Mrs Jones etc - you get the picture?

There was a number of these shouts in a row and the last item to be purchased was a toy. It went something like this.

"Mr Evans", customer says yes, and walks to the counter.

"Mrs Saunders", customer says yes and walks.

"Mr Smith" and we hear Thank you and the person approaches the counter.

I swear this is true. The assistant shouts "Mr Potato Head" and this bloke shouts "here" and goes to collect the toy. Diane and I nearly died laughing. It was extra funny because only us two and the assistants were giggling....still brings a smile when we think about it.

Once in florida my husband said we were "balmpots" for waiting an hour for a table. When we were called to our table it came over the tannoy " Mr and Mrs Balmpot, party of four, step up to the podium please. my daughter, who was then a teenager refused to go as she was so embarrassed. It took us ages to convince her that the americans didn't know what a balmpot was and in any case their surnames were often worse then that!

I ended up writing up the minutes of a meeting the other day. Only when proof-reading did I realise I had assigned one of the actions to "Tom, Dick and Harry", and had also referred to a "Frocklift Truck" that was in need of repair!  ;D
