If you'd just called him 'welshpoolairtoground' you could have carried on as before.

His predecessor was called wuntoozerodezimalfowertoofife ... for fairly obvious reasons, as everyone will work out.... ( :?: :wink: )

The health visitor was somewhat surprised to see Sharon call all her 7 boys "Tyrone"
"Well," explained Sharon," When I yell for them, they all come running"
" but what if you only want one? "

"easy! I just use their father's surname!"

....and there was me back in the 1970s feeling sorry for them poor Zappa kids , Dweazil and Moon-Unit ....
Not to mention the poor little devils of the Bowie and Bolan family .

Mind you , some of these hideous modern day 'names' , make Mr & Mrs Geldof's choices of the time seem quite tame .

Had to cringe a few years back when overhearing some woman calling to her daughter . < cue awful squawky estuary accent > " Page,,come 'ere".. :pale:

But retrospectively , I'm sure that 'Page' probably had several siblings.
Page 1 , Page 2 , Page 3,,,etc...and it's unisex . [Page Boy]

..........and for the 'non-binaries',,,Blank Page .? :clown:

I used to work with a chap called Dean Cook. I work for a Swedish company, and we used to work both with quite a few Swedish people and also closely with Sweden.

Dean Cook is audibly the same as the Swedish "din kuk" which means "your cock".

My first big love , who came from that same neck of the woods , thought it totally hilarious when told that my parents neighbours were , Mr & Mrs Fitter .

[spelling not quite the same , but pronunciation identical]

Yep, a mate of mine had it happen to him as well, when working in Amsterdam as a contract aircraft engineer. One night in the bar they got chatting to a couple of female flight attendants from Norway....when asked what job they did, my mate said "We're fitters"

At the time when I worked for the same company as Paul, we had a Swedish gentleman (who frequently met with colleagues and customers in the UK) named Puke. The name is pronounced with two distinct syllables in Swedish, but he was inevitably known as "Mr Puke" with English pronounciation.
