In their 'about us' bit, it does say-

so you can "Expect the Best from R.C. Worst".

When I was but a lad in Wolverton one of the private coach companies was owned by a Mr. Richard Sole. Unfortunately he shortened his name on the rear of the coaches and had them painted with 'R. Sole'

Another time, when visiting my parents in Norfolk, we went to the market on Snetterton airfield. I was particularly interested in getting a tan leather jacket at the time and ended up at an Asian stand carrying the banner "You've tried the Cowboys, now try the Indians". I bought one there

At least he had it on the rear of the coach.

Recall seeing that on the side of a Patel & Patel brothers builders van.

Round these parts a few years ago there was a carpet fitting company whose legend on the van Was: 'big or small we've laid 'em all'
We also have an estate agent called: 'Doolittle and Dalley'

A very old and respected name. Not sure, but I think they were featured in  a recent 3 part TV prog about how we dispose of/recycle our waste.

In Leamington Spa there is a firm of legal advisors called Wright Hassall.

Near me there's Andy Mann the  handyman  and there used to be, Coleman the coalman.

I recall an Ian Pullem - dentist

Whilst we're doing apposite names I'm always tickled that the governing body for plastic surgeons is BAAPS.

A few years ago when I worked in London we audited a distillery in Montrose. The local funeral director rejoiced in the name of "I. Greave".

When I was at school, we had a woodwork teacher by the name of Glew and a chemistry teacher Dr. Spillett.

Saw this on the back of a local Plumbers van

"Don't sleep with a drip, give me a call...anytime"

In 1982, driving back from my father in laws place on the far north coast of NSW, the clutch plate failed on my 1979 Toyota Celica.

It happened in a Godforsaken little town called Bulladela.

I was stranded there as it was the week between Christmas and New Year, nothing was open.

Anyway, wondering around the place with nowt to do, I came across the local doctor. Brass plate read:

Doctor Michael Coqueshard.

True! I have  35mm print from the period!

Hope his mates didn't call him Mike!
