In Merideth Road, Ipswich,  there is an undertaker called Butcher's, which I find a little disturbing.

When I was a student, One of my (more accessible) law books referenced the fictional solicitors Sue Grabbit and Runn.

Read a few books recently. How they built the Titanic, that was just riveting, but the book on how they built the Channel Tunnel was simply boring.
My favorite was the Dr Rev Spooners book on the maintenance of Oxfords and Cambridges favorite water transport, called the Care of Punts
