If it's the same Shakeshaft, his "unfortunate" wife is a teacher. Can't say I blame her for keeping her maiden name!

[Stodgetta]

Came across a "Norman Stanley Fletcher" the other day at work, too. Poor thing was only 5 months old and both parents were big Porridge fans who did it deliberately.

Always good to drag up an old thread but the DCS at Glasgow is home to some very amusingly named people. For example:

Mr Alexander (Sandy) Beavers
Dr Willy Cockshott
Dr Manlove
Dr Gay
Dr Dickman
Professor Muffy Calder

Want proof?

I came across a couple of amusing names whilst working in a bank: G W Anker and R S Hole. A friend who used to work in what was the DSS claims he came across the name Rupert Bastard.

And amongst orienteers, there is the Schmuck family.
