I worked at a school in Doncaster where the music teacher was Mr Tune and one of the English teachers was Mr Shakespeare.
There was a Dr De'ath at the college in Cyncoed, Cardiff I did my PGCE. I only saw his name on his office door.

I once went in the McDonald's in Longford near Heathrow and was served by a young chap whose name badge said Arshed. I'm sure it wasn't pronounced how I saw and said it inside my own brain!

[QUOTE 5342068, member: 43827"]My first job was in a company that used tannoy announcements a lot to notify people of incoming telephone calls. We used to play tricks on the telephonists by asking them to put calls out for double entendre names. A few that spring to mind are Isaac Hunt, Ivor Biggun, Mister Bates, Norma Stitz.[/QUOTE]
