Not a kids name but a girl I went to school with married someone with the last name Cocks and when she went to submit her change of name form the lady at the counter said to her it must be true love if she's willing to change her name to Cocks.

Yep I knew that. Almost punched someone once when they assumed I'd named my daughter because I was a big Bruce Willis fan! Now I like an action movie as much as the next guy, but come on!

More about the way the poster snootily parodies the "sarf london" accent than anything else.

My favourite name story was from years ago when I was a librarian joining a family of blonde blue eyed sisters, 4 or 5 of them. All had common names until the 2nd last, she had an African name I kid you not. Turns out one of the sisters was asked to name her and she choose the name of her then best friend to give to her little sis. Wish I could remember the name involved.

I also signed up 2 young brothers, aged around 4 and 5, and they were called exactly the same thing. No numbers or anything, just John Patrick..Surname and John Patrick...surname.

    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
    • I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU
