When Crocs first came out they were popular for nurses.

Colleagues of mine were on nights, and someone had details of a company offering an NHS discount.

So they typed a search in the name of the company - Sweet Feet

Not many pairs of Crocs!!!
 
The other extreme was when I was working with the local Council.

Well, this was a few jobs ago, when the Interwebs were young and CC wasn't even a twinkle in Admins eye.
A few of us were looking for information about boat hire, snorkelling and scuba.
Handy Hint.
Do not Google 'Australian Watersports' from a work PC. Or any other PC, for that matter...

There is a consultancy company called Gartner - but if you type in Garter.com you get something completely different I understand.
