I used to work for Mr C Dick.
my wife had a new guy with questionable sexuality start at her place called Mr Hole. they got so excited to find out if his name was Andrew that they
checked his payslip when it arrived. to their dissapointment his first name is Matthew,
Although that does mean his full title is Mr M T Hole!!
i swear on my kitcars life this is true
who says you can't drive a kit car when you're 6'5"?

When I worked at Rover (Cowley) in the '70s we had an electrician whose name was D C Sparks.
A few good ones have turned up as race driver pseudonyms over the years. Again in the '70s one of the quicker (motorcycle) production race guys
was Eccles Cayke.
And once when racing a car at Ingliston; in the programme, there was a Sunbeam Stilleto driven by one Hugh Jarse. Rumours that his girlfreind's
name was Norma Stitts proved unfounded.

I used to work in an engineering firm a few years ago.
One of the guys was called John Hole. Not that funny in itself, but his wife was called Joy........

One time at school I told the supply teacher my name was Benjamin Dover. Unfortunately that teacher then stayed on and for about a year didn't
twig until I was stood in front of the Headmaster explaining why I lied about my name...

My sister-in-law (a consultant anaesthetist who ran a hospital A&E dept) once studied with another student who had the surname D'Eath... and
yes, he did become a doctor...
Note: D'Eath is not an unusual surname in France - not common, but there are a few about.
