Still on real names matching occupations, I once called in a plumber, Mr Main,and I remember a sign in Oxford, F.Sheen French Polisher. There is, or was, a Mr Scales, a Brixham fisherman, Mr Hewitt, a forester, and Mr Down a demolition contractor. The local Yellow Pages have farmers with names like Bale, Bull, Sheaves, Steer, Veale and even Blight.
Courage, Roger. Toujours l'audace. At least you managed to completely forget to submit your strained analogy entry (an excellent one). I sent in my three so-so efforts, but the email was timed five minutes after the deadline of twelve o'clock.
