Paging Al Koholick...
Our old mate Grendon Underwood gets in touch from O2, after we revealed that he’s not really a person, but the very silly name of a village in Buckinghamshire. ‘I wondered how long it would take for someone to comment on this – it happens wherever I work,’ he says. Well, Gren, wherever that is, it doesn’t appear to be at O2. ‘We don’t have anyone working here called that,’ says an unimpressed press officer. ‘We only have two Underwoods in the entire company and certainly no Grendons’.
On the other hand, Gren does have a potentially interesting question: ‘How many of my fellow readers are named after places?’ If you’re going to write and pretend that your name is Melton Mowbray, don’t bother. But we’d love to hear from an Alice Springs or a Shirley Heights.
