This was supposed to have been added to the topic titled "Test". What happened that it's appeared as a separate topic?

When I see photos from the 20s and film of general public, they were very attractive back then, although she has been made up for this shot no doubt.Had heard of a nurse Blood years ago.

My brother used to have a good dentist called Paine.Back in the early seventies I used to take my cat to a vet off Holland Park Avenue whose name was Rohrbach.  (Geddit?)Round the corner was my dentist whose name was Bender and about whom the less said the better.

I read somewhere of a Dr De'Ath who I assume was a charming man in order to compensate.

There used to be a Nurse Patient at Hammersmith Hospital. Confusing. Are you a nurse or a patient? Well, both actually.

My dental practise has a Dr Mangla - although he's not my guy. I once had a dentist, Dr Fang.

Reminds me Of Major Major Major in Catch 22 who got promoted to the rank of Major due to a clerical error to become Major Major Major Major."He was named "Major Major Major" by his father, as a joke – passing up such lesser possibilities as "Drum Major, Minor Major, Sergeant Major, or C Sharp Major".[1] Once he joined the army during World War II, he was quickly promoted to the rank of Major due to "an IBM machine with a sense of humor almost as keen as his father's" - JOSEPH HELLER
