    Peoples names complementing their profession

    My dad had the electrician round to sort out a few bits and bobs the other day. I was visiting and was amazed to see a white van pull up with the name P J Sparks written on the side! This was not a ruse either it was his real name.

    I also had a friend at school who became a hairdresser. Her name was Vanessa Trimmings!

    There's also a dentist in the town called Dr Pullar which I think is classic.

    Anyone got anymore?

    There is a guy on our database called Andrew Broomhead, he does not own a broom shop but still funny enough to be included.

    There was a GP in Milford Surrey called "Dr De-Ath"


    Another classic was a building firm called "Crookes". I saw a picture of a road sign in private eye proudly saying "Another project successfully completed solely by Crookes"

    A friend of mine worked in a vets surgery with a Dr. Death (pronounced Deeth apparently) and a Dr. Richard Pain (you can work that one out yourself).

    Her surname is Eager and she always said she was on the lookout for a Mr Beaver to marry.


    Edit: Also, just spotted that I've got a Dr. Sever on my books here...
