A few years ago I worked as a buyer and sourced items from all over - one Chinese company I regularly contacted was FAH-TEENG. They answered the phone 'Hello, Fah-Teeng' - and I was always tempted to say 'No, I didn't have beans for breakfast'.

When I was an auditor we had a client called Mycox Electric. The switchboard operator eventually got used to answering the phone with the company name and the caller saying "So is mine".

Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)

We have two schools in the area with that name - Hugh Sexey's (Cheddar area I think) and Sexey's School for Girls (Bruton). Rather unfortunate!! Mandy :)
