    I often frequented a bar in Shropshire, England, where one of the barmaids was called Emma Drinkwater. Would probably have been a lot better off if I had chosen to drink water.

    I think the Dublin City Council chief Engineer is Tim Brick. I remember hearing his name when thieves stole block from the walls of the quays a couple of years ago.

    Customer we work with in Norway has surname Hell...

    I think Ms. Butters won that title in the 80s Peadar so I doubt it's the same one.
