I have to confess vicky, I haven't read any either! I just saw the announcement in the local paper and posted it in case anybody else was interested.
Liana

There's a plumber is the Chelmsford area who drives around in a large sign-written van with his name in large lettering. it always makes me chuckle when i see it. His name? Brian Badcock!
I think he should get medical advice!
Any other amusing REAL names?
