Sir - At traffic lights in Bradford, a large van drew alongside. The sign on
the side read Khan and Khan Builders. Underneath was the slogan: "You've

The Human Rights people might see it as a slur on the gentlemen that
might describe their working methods as 'existential'. Or perhaps
the artistic community may leap to their defence to describe the work
of cowboys as 'unreconstructed'.

Probably not true but I heard of an electricians in South Yorkshire called
run by a Mr Mycock, when the receptionist answered the phone she said "Good
morning, Mycocks Electrical"

A favourite was to call reception and ask them to use the Tannoy for
"Calling Mike Hunt"
