Letter in today's Telegraph.
Sir - At traffic lights in Bradford, a large van drew alongside. The sign on the side read Khan and Khan Builders. Underneath was the slogan: "You've tried the cowboys - now try the Indians."

I like that, however im sure some misguided numpty would distort humour to be seen as racism in reverse.... if you see what I mean.
The Human Rights people might see it as a slur on the gentlemen that might describe their working methods as 'existential'. Or perhaps the artistic community may leap to their defence to describe the work of cowboys as 'unreconstructed'.

There's nothing new under the sun, you know:
Probably not true but I heard of an electricians in South Yorkshire called run by a Mr Mycock, when the receptionist answered the phone she said "Good morning, Mycocks Electrical"
Cheers

We used to have a secretary whose surname was "Hyscock" - I once called the switchboard to ask to be put through to her and the switchboard operator said "I'm sorry, Hyscock isn't coming up". Followed by giggling.
A favourite was to call reception and ask them to use the Tannoy for "Calling Mike Hunt"
