When I went to school there was a Miss Hoare. Someone asked her once if she was a bleep/hoare and she went mad and he was like 'well your surname says otherwise!'

Oh God that poor girl! My friend T's last name is Hiscock.

Is he a science teacher by any chance ?

We had a Miss Hole at school.

Nah, anaesthesia nurse. That could be worse, haha. I had a teacher called Mr Ankar, first name Winton. Lovely bloke, took all the jokes with good humour.

We had a teacher called Mrs Jones... a simple enough name, except the year that she had us was the year Aqua released Dr Jones... she must have hated us.

I had a neighbour called Ted Mothershole - they changed it to Mothersell a few years ago
I also stopped at a pub in Yorkshire (think it was) called The Moorcock Inn

Takeshita in Harajuku in Japan, nice place
We used to know a family whose surname was Ramsbottom, Fancy being called sheep’s arse every day at school. Kids are cruel.

The funniest thing about Tasmania is the rest of Australia calls a fanny a 'mappa'. Short for map of Tassie when you look at the shape of it.

Probably why Tasmania gets left off the map of Australia so often

What a horrid child. I had a Mr Hoare at school but also know of someone who changed their name from Hoare when they became a teacher.

Imagine booking travel saying can I have a ticket from Humungeous Hole to Thrush Forest via Lake Fanny please?

We had a Miss Hole at school.

I had a geography teacher called Mr Holland, which always seemed somewhat appropriate

We also had a PE teacher called Ms Jelly, which alway got some lube based comment from the usual suspects.

We also had a Mr Hoare, but he was quite strict (and actually a decent teacher) so no one said anything lol
