My dad knew an Albert Hall

I worked with an American who went to school with a poor kid called London-Bridge. They were his first names, his parents named him after the bridge.

I've always thought "Burchett" was a unfortunate surname.

I used to work with a Victoria Ground. I used to call her Brittania for years, despite it only ever amusing me.

There's a German near here named Hans Koch.
