Stephen and Hugh are going through letters.
Hugh Hello.
Stephen Certainly. You know, we've had, as you can see
from these post bags, the most marvellous response
to our Name Quest.
Hugh That's right. We know that a lot of you out there
have known or met people who have amusing and
unusual names.
Stephen So we asked you to write in and tell us about them.
Hugh And what crackers you've told us about!
Stephen (Reading) "There is a man who comes to wash
my windows once a month whose name is Jervillian
Swike. It always makes me laugh a great deal." That
was sent in from a Mr Suckmaster Burstingfoam of
Ipswich.
Hugh I'm rather fond of this one: "Dear A Bit Of Fry
and Laurie, I was at school with a boy called Donald
Duck and later went out with a woman named Soilia
Piffin. Yours etc. Peter Cummin-Myear."
Stephen Five pounds on its way to you for that one Mr
Cummin-Myear. Or how about this one "Dear A
Bit Of Fry and Laurie, My wife's first husband
was called Simon Coggie. I still split my sides
whenever I hear that name. Yours faithfully Frigmy
Popplehate-Fresharse."
Hugh Tremendous response all around. Many thanks
to all of you who wrote in. Meanwhile ...
