I always had a laugh at the estate agent's boards I saw in Worcestershire - Doolittle & Dalley!

They must be good to stay in business with a name like that!

Did know a STAKE family years ago. They had a dearly loved, unexpected late arrival, daughter but I didn't know her first name.

I suppose she was MissStake

I recently saw the name "Justin Tynne", I don't know where I saw it, but it makes me  :)  when ever I think of it. What story lies behind that name?
