It's true!
I was just browsing some medical type research & found this chap at the Hallamshire...
GR Kinghorn
Department of Genitourinary Medicine, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield.

I shall comment no more on him.
But - do you know of anyone who's name & job were meant to be?

How about Mr E. Sockett (RIP) . Shop down at Firvale.

I think its run by his son now.

When I learnt to drive (many years ago now!) it was by a Mr Driver :)

As a kid, my Mom took me to a hairdressers in Ecclesfield that was owned by Mrs Barber!

My friend's family used to know a decorator called Mr. Curtain.

And my Home Economics (Cookery!) teacher at school was called Mrs. Burnett. We used to pronounce it "Mrs Burn it".

A few years ago, In High Green, there was a Doctor (GP) called Dr Horn.

Luckily he left the practise before Viagra was discovered. :hihi:

our home ec teacher was called Mrs Honey, I got thrown out of that class for smuggling in a guinea pig (wasn't going to cook it!) then I had to take CDT classes with Mr Wood!

I know of a cookery teacher called Miss Pye!

There's a Doctor in the Urology dept. at the Hallamshire called Dr. Cuthina.
It should come as no surprise that he performs vasectomies.

I once saw a lingerie shop and the name emblazoned over the top was Nick Ker's Pantie Bar.

i had a geography teacher called mr york and a RE teacher called mrs godley

I had a chemistry teacher once called Mr Burnup & the head of Home Economics was Miss Cook

I had a stand-in RE teacher called Mrs Godley at Meadowhead School too.

kids music teacher is called Miss Tune, and she also plays for the Liverpool philharmonic apparently.

My other half used to work with a lady who's surname was Sergent.

I bet you've worked the rest out all ready!!

Her husband was a police man....of the rank of sergent

Thats right Sergent Sergent.

I had a geography teacher called Mrs Globe, a woodwork teacher called Mr Chisel, and a cookery teacher called Ms Spatula Wooden-Spoon!

A colleague once told me of a Saturday Job she had as a youngster.....she worked for a Mr Mycock at an Electrical/Spares shop.

Everytime he answered the phone he bellowed
"'Mycock's Electric "!!!!!!!!!!!!

:clap:

I remember as a mischievious teenager going through the phonebook whilst parents out phoning people with odd names just to take the 'mickey' out of people...How cruel!!

Or calling the zoo and asking for Mr G Raff etc etc

Thank God there was no itemised phone bills in the 1970's LOL!!!!

Love it!:D

There's a doctor in one of our hospitals called Dr Otten

Our local gardener is called Mr Gardener. I also saw a while ago some football team (forget who it was now), had a physio called Buster Footbone.

If my brother ever makes his lifetime ambition to be a weatherman (he has a degree in meteorology), you may wake up to a bit of early morning Hayes.

I once had a R.E teacher called Mr.Small. Not very funny you may think, but he was about 20 stone and far from small! Sorry couldn't think of anything else.

A story from the North East (I am originally from Teesside) -

Years ago my boyfriend started doing some Taxi driving for a firm called Boro Taxis...his first day he was told to pick up a Mr Bolckow from outside Blondes and Bicardos (nightclub) after waiting for many minutes and not wanting to leave his booked customer standing he radioed in to report 'No booking for Bolckow' had arrived how long should he wait...??

The Cab firm told him to sit tight not to disappoint a regular customer!! 30 mins or more passed...he radioed again!!

This time to the huge laughter of his new colleagues that Mr Bolckow was indeed stood right beside him here.....

How embarrassing............................

:clap:

I went horse-riding when I was younger to a Equestrian Centre Own by a Mr & Mrs Horsman!!

Chatting to my sister about some of the various topics on here at the moment she told me of her neighbour, Tony, who runs his own plumbing business.

Apparently he runs his business under the name Acklam Plumbing and Heating coz his full name is Anthony Crook!!!

A. Crook on the side of a van/yellow pages wouldn't really appeal would it???


;)

like a few others, I also had Dr D'eathe as my dentist.

He never managed to kill me but he did cause me a 7 year wait on having braced fixed because he lost my file twice.

Stuck with em now at 21, grrr

Still couldn't go to the dentists without thinking of the film Marathon Man

Is it safe?

Wilf

my maths teacher was mr newton?!

My home town has Sandra Rose the Florist on the hight street.

anybody seen Nick Leeson Financial Advisors on Ecclesall Road!!

I know three closely related ones.
The two retired GPs in Mosborough and Killamarsh were Dr Lipp (a pair of lipps),
the dentist at the Eckington Health center I think was Mr Gum and the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist at Worksop was Dr Chui.

My English teacher was called Mrs Read :D

Recently I was listening to Radio 3 and the announcer said 'and now for an hour of ****e'. I thought this wouldn't be the first time on Radio3

He was referring to the German composer Samuel Scheidt
(1587 - 1654) whose last name is pronounced '****e'.


Scheidt's music actually sounded really good though - so in this case his name is not really appropriate.
