Title: Customers name
Post by: Slacky on May 02, 2018, 10:08:34 am
I had a phone enquiry yesterday from a Mr Glasscock.

I was impressed, at least he didn't snigger like me when I asked him his name.

I used to have a lady called miss sex, she was a teacher at a girls school, I only found out about the name when I received a cheque from her

I used to clean for a Mrs I. Tugwell.
Didn't realise until she paid by cheque once.

I used to have a ‘Mrs Topless’. She never was though & she was really old anyway. She’s dead now.

I do a lot of work in "Badcock Road".

One of my customers (who I knew when she was a young lieutenant in Germany) is called Badcock now; her married name.  She lives not far from me and I refuse to call her by her first name.  ;D

If Lt. Badcock became Major Badcock it would work even better.

Not a funny name as such but an amusing situation - to me anyway.

I have a retired couple on my round who often pay me by cheque and on the cheque it has it has written

Dr. D. Thomas &
Mrs J. Thomas.

So for the last three years I have been calling him Dr. Thomas as you'd expect.

Last time I called and Mrs Thomas - who is a very well preserved, pleasant but "plummy" 70 year old said actually I'm the real doctor, he's just a Ph. D - and I laughed (pretending to understand but not really) and asked "how does that work - it sounds like a Basil Fawlty sketch!?"

She said he was a University lecturer (so the title isn't used in general conversation like a G.P. or hospital doctor) and she was a Haematologist so would be addressed as "Dr."  but not him.

Funny, the useless stuff you learn.

Mr n Mrs Cox - filled my paperwork in incorrectly.

I also had a Mrs. Cox.
She dumped me for a cheaper guy  but I still clean  her neighbours either side. I regularly see her and always cheerily say good morning Mrs. Cock
