• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Every time I order take away Pizza they ask for my name, so I say it is Scott but on their order screen it is Scoot. Everytime I point out the error and the appologies flow. I am not offended as it must be hard for new arrivals to our country, as our family once was.11847.jpg
 
Sorry Scott, it's no excuse for them not to be more attentive and keep getting it wrong. Next time spell it out to them ..... very slowly... at the pace of a 🐌 if needed... That's what I do if they ask for my surname, and I do it twice to make sure they got it right - nothing aggravates me more
 
I last time I was in a Pizza Hut I was in my early twenties in a group of drunks after being in a bar until closing. 🍻 🍺🍻 Name? Bob was good enough for all of us.

I've had, over the years, as well as Maskery:
Muskery
Meskerry
Massquery
Muscrat
and almost certainly several others I can't remember.

I had a boss once called Ian Polaine. He had a notice-board-full of various spellings he had received over the years.

I feel for you. Once in a blue moon, someone will ask if it's Brown(e) with an 'e', but it's usually plain sailing.
 
I was working 600 miles away from our HQ. I recruited a chap whose surname was Morison. I discussed him with our administrator back at HQ and explained his name was Morison (with one R)
Some weeks later I was asked by HR how the man with one arm was coping.
 
Sam Q and I have been having a behind-the-scenes chat about surnames. I'm reminded of this story about names

I used to work for an IT company.

I remember one time when we had a gathering of all our International distributors at Head Office, which was a big old rambling country manor called Strelley Hall. We had a good relationship (mostly) with our distributors and it was always a bit of a party atmosphere, not least because the MD was a good and generous host.

There was a tannoy system. "Steve Maskery, contact reception, please, Steve Maskery", that sort of thing. A young lass manned the front desk.

The German delegation asked her to page one of their colleagues. And then another one. And another.

It meant nothing to me, but all my colleagues were in stitches as she paged, one by one, the entire German national football team.

Enjoy.

Being the only Peter Maddex in the country I (and the other Maddex’s) will always spell Maddex after telling someone my name.

That's fairly remarkable!
All the more so when a quick search turns up a Pete Sahut, and a Pete Zahut (see thread title). Ok, I don't think they're real people, but so what?
Maybe I'll change my name to Pete Maddex, in the interest of balance. After all, there are probably more John Browns than we'll ever need.
A man who used to live in this village(in this house, I believe, although he seems to have moved about a bit) was called Rex Wood, which would probably be my first name-change choice.
