Appropriate names
« on: Saturday 26 August 06 11:59 BST (UK) »
I read yesterday of a businessman who was to be extradited to the USA; charged with some form of embezzlement. His surname is Crook. He is lucky though as his lawyer is called Law!
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

This reminds me of a very good friend of mine whose family had retained the same family lawyers for several generations.  My friend and his brother had  referred to the two senior partners as 'F**t & Witless' for so long that when the time came to contact them they couldn't remember their proper names!
