What's In A Name?

[LadyCG]

I just went to my local shop and the person who served me was called Deepinderdeep. It's a good job his name wasn't Deepinderchit or I think I would have just lost it completely.

Have you ever struggled to contain yourself over someone's name?

Oh that's a shame, Rowan. All the best folk have two sides to them. The wicked side can be such fun.... I know that. ;-)

At least I never did anything nasty, but creating multiple identities to upset people is just rather sad.

This is not spam, it's my local timber merchant.

Famous show store in Brightons gay community. R Soles, closed now but always worth a photo when folk saw it the first time

Whoops, Rowan! If I had the time I would probably have an alter ego too. I did one night, many years ago, appear as Rick O'Shea but I'm that clumsy I outed myself in about 10 minutes and poor old Rick was consigned to room 101. Oh well.

I had to use my husband's email to register this account as I don't have a spare email, other than my NHS one which I wouldn't want to use for obvious reasons.

Canary - superb!

This thread has had me in tears, literally.

Rowan, that reminds me of when some clever bu66er (no pun intended) change Canal Street in Manchester to "anal treet".

There is an Organ inn in Surrey, my very camp friend Wayne is a regular there...
At least his surname isn't King, but. There was a real wayne King who was a musician.

Wayne King or Wayne Kerr - the parents must do it deliberately.

When I was a boy in the 1950s there were many local shops and it was common for the name of the shopkeeper to be written on the shop. There was a cobbler's shop with the name written in script above the shop and I could never decide whether it was J Cheetham or I Cheetham; I hoped it was the latter.
