There is a firm in the Midlands called Dolittle and Dally!
I like the Private Eye firm - Sue, Grabitt and Run.

My comment was for jeni - of course, it would be good in Greatnan's Private Eye firm, too Sue, Grabbit-Groin and Run! grin

Solicitors on Tyneside called Hadaway and Hadaway, you have to live here to appreciate that one.

When I worked in a solicitors' office a firm we regularly dealt with was called Wright Hassall & Co.! (Probably only works if you're from the north of England!)

Here's one for the Scots - I was on a CND demo at Rosyth once and a group from the south turned up with a banner saying 'Havering for Peace'........

I bought my house, over thirty years ago, from a firm called organ and co!
Always made me laugh. I kept imagining them playing the musical instruementgrin
(What did you think it made me think of confused?)

jeni - I can't imagine what you mean!

There is a dental practice near here with a husband and wife called Dr & Dr Dentith. Their daughter is also a dentist and has recently joined the practice but she is either recently, or about to be, married.

We have a dantist called Dentith in the NE. I think he also does funruns

artygran Thu 03-May-12 19:58:15

Our dentist, when I was young, was Mr Gagg! My firm also took regular instructions from Wright Hassall & Co, Anagram, but they weren't, by and large!

I have a friend/old work colleague with that name. Can you imagine the ribbing he got when his clients asked for him at the probation office reception desk? grin

There is a famous US criminologist/author of books about sex crimes, whose name is Anna Salter (she put a C in between to stop the 'jokes').

Parents can be thoughtless, my Mum went to school with a Pearl Button and a Theresa Green. She said she thought long and hard about our christian names because we had a funny surname too.

nanaej Thu 03-May-12 22:46:46
