Re: We had a contractor

There was a plumber in Nottingham called Robert Sunter. Unfortunately he just had his first initial on his van - R. Sunter. He soon changed it after his mistake was pointed out to him!!

... and my mum...

... was at school with a girl whose surname was Vacca (cow). Bad enough, but God knows what she thought of her parents who were so dim as to call her Bella (beautiful)...

My surname is Bull. I decided NOT to call my daughter Hannah. Or my son Terry. But perhaps I could have gone for Kay to provide a nautical theme..I also didnt't take my stepfathers name, I would have been Philippa Slade.

At one Moody used boat show, I came across one little motorcruiser that had been named "Hello". Just imagine the coasthuard vhf call !

And one mobo called "Dont tell the wife". Really!

Re: The guys at Southampton VTS

tell me they used to work a ship called Phuk Yu 2.

The pilots fell into two schools. Those that tried to pronounce it in a safe way and those that relished every sylible.
