O/T What's in a name?

[CTMilller]

One of the teachers at our little un's school is called Beth Speaker. I used to run with her and we are friends. When Beth was at Uni she saw on the student list that there was a bloke called Tom Speaker at the same Uni, so she looked him up to see if they were related somehow. They weren't, but they ended up going out together and eventually got married and became a pair of Speakers.

Agree with that observation, Monty. These types of post - the one about old Rotherham barber shops is another example - are internet gold and would probably not get so much play if we had a separate set of pages for OT subjects. Having them in among the football related threads helps to diffuse some of the tension under which we seem perennially to live as Millers fans!

..and sorry, I just can't resist it, but if the couple named Speaker bought a dog after they got married did they call it Woofer!?

Well, what more can I say?

Brilliant again, Sota! I particularly like the "101" next to it. Sounds like it's on the syllabus at the local community college!
