Post by: fenman on February 28, 2013, 01:37:12 pm: A few years ago cleaned some carpets for a customer who when she booked said that her boyfriend would be in and that he would pay.
When I finished and asked him his name so that I could make out the invoice he replied very carefully:

Michael Hunt :o

I bet he does not look back on his school days with fondness.

" has anyone seen Mike Hunt "
" telephone call for Mike Hunt "
"I am going to buy a banana for Mike Hunt "

Post by: Simon@arenaclean on February 28, 2013, 03:13:42 pm: I think most would see the funny side and some are quite clever. We have a local rock band called 'Killer Hurts' which I quite like. I went through quite a few when I was trying toi find a name and still not sure how I settled on Arena as I now think it's quite non-discript, but much too late to change it now.

Post by: james roffey on February 28, 2013, 04:38:15 pm: Depends what type of business you are in and who your target customers are, if they are mostly women like in our industry then a rude sounding play on words would i think be counter productive.

You could call yourself "filthy shag" but i don't recommend it. ;D
