Salesmans names

Just read the rejection thread in the main forum and Jack posted the following :

"I shit you not I bought my M135i off a BMW sales guy called Stuart Little!"

Got me thinking if anyone else has had a salesman with a famous name?

My wife bought her first BMW from Bowkers in Preston off a guy called Tony Curtis. Then less than a month later we bought a house off another guy also called Tony Curtis!!

Not anyone with a famous name, but quite a funny one.

Bought the wife's old Skoda Fabia from a guy called Richie Rider. He was the most incompetent imbecile of a salesman I've ever had the misfortune to come across. Gave us someone else's log book, wrote down my wife's name wrong about 20 times, couldn't do basic maths, knew nothing about cars, couldn't remember conversations we'd had an hour before. It was like a Carry On movie...

Nothing to do with car sales people.

My ex wife is now Elizabeth Taylor. I had a business meeting a while ago with a guy called Doug Hole and I used to work with a guy called Wayne Kerr, what were his parents thinking.

I also went to school with a Theresa Green and she was friends with Theresa Wood.

If we are straying from salesman I used to teach (accountants) and in the same classroom I had Richard Nixon and Richard Burton.....

I've just been asked to deliver some election literature to that very name about 40 houses further down our street. I report back if there's an XJ6 in his driveway.

Office next to mine many years ago was staffed by gents named Hogg, Trotter and Suckling.

That is funny.
You'd think they'd have spotted that and called the firm Hassall Wright instead!

I bet their receptionist gets a bit of stick on the phone ... "good morning - Wright Hassall solicitors"
