    When I started as an apprentice one of the guys was called Andy Hope. Not that funny as a name but he got ribbed mercilessly people saying 'Haven't go A Hope' 'You'll need A Hope' 'We are interviewing Andy Prayer this week' etc

    Pretty childish but entertaining at the time.

              I worked with a yank once who, after being enlightened, decided to pronounce his surname 'Vanker'.

                    I worked with a guy called Alan Parsons when I worked in a pub shortly after leaving school. It was not long after Austin Powers 2 was out.

                      That reminds me. I worked with a gentleman whose first name was pariksh1t. We all used to call him Parik. A great guy - very clever.
