I know that we've all been watching news about the space shuttle and the plane crash in Canada but just when you need something lighthearted then Nat West have done us proud.
this story (http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13399559,00.html) on Sky is one of the best I've seen for a long time. They sent out a new credit card to Mr Chris Lancaster of Essex, who pocketed the card and several days later went to pay for goods using it. To his horror he found that his official title on the card was 'Mr C Lancaster Dick Head', in his embarrassment he put it back in his wallet.
Makes you wonder what it's like for the poor unfortunates of the world that were christened Richard Head. A quick Google on the name gives out nearly 23million hits! Know I went to school with a Michael Hunt who for obvious reasons always insisted on being called Michael or Mickey but never Mike, from the age of about 11 when he realised what the combination of the two made:D.
Makes you wonder what the parents think of at name choosing time, they should take a leaf out of Bob Geldof's book and show some care in their choices!
