When I started district nursing our continence advisor was called Miss Piddle. I thought it was a wind up until I saw her name on her office door! ?

My junior school music teacher was Mr Tinkler - he signed my autograph book with musical notes after his name smile

"I know of a colo-rectal consultant called Mr Opong!"

Now you mention that, the surgeon who did my father's piles was Mr Boggon.

Our domestic science teacher was Miss Parkin, at a school in Lancashire where in the words of a local folk song "we kept eatin Parkin, until the day was gone"

Not tradespoeple, but when I was young I lived in a block of 3 storey flats and in one block there were the Doe, the Buck and the Bunny families.
