Mr and Mrs Straightline
and their shatterproof daughter
Rula

Mr and Mrs Fortune
and their daugher
Owena

 

[beanzontoast]

Mr and Mrs L'servicewillberesumedassoonaspossible

And stocking up for yuletide celebrations, here are Mr & Mrs Musampa
And their son, Chris.

 

[Landslide]

Please may I just interrupt proceedings? There's a man here from the RAC asking after Mr & Mrs Arwontstart (or more specifically their son Mike).

 

[gavintc]

I can see why some of you are not really into Brand and Ross if this is your humour.

 

[Kirstie]

And here are notable campanologists Mr and Mrs Onhigh, with their beautiful daughter Marylee and her boyfriend who is none other than notable cad and bounder Mr Terry Thomas, who uttered the immortal phrase: 'Ding dong Marylee Onhigh'

a slightly later arrival is Mr & Mrs Crash (and hopefully not apt) their son Carl
