A silly silly game I used to play as a child - we used to make up names to match people's jobs... so a really corny one would be:

The real challenge, though, is to keep it clean

OK, here goes:


Mr Hamed Thumb is a builder


W

Frank Lee is a journalist

Count Beans is an accountant

T. Bone is a butcher

R. Sole is the estate agent

Oliver Sossidge, Bacon, Ham, & Chipps - Breakfasters

Arthur Sleep - bus driver (actually a real one from Bere Alston, Devon)

Dr Blood - Dentist - (A real one from Melbourne, Australia)

Pat Pending in an inventor

I. Lovatt - sex therapist

Robin Bastard - a gentleman of the landed gentry on the outskirts of Plymouth - the name fitted both by description and nature.

My son came up with -

I.Read is a newscaster

I went to school (honestly) with one Justin Case and Jo Bloggs. My mother was at school with one Anne Teak - but she was much older.
