Never heard of you Alan Caddy...
As a spotty teenager I was serving a customer in Currys who had bought some piece of crap hi-fi.
When he wrote the cheque he noticed me taking a long look at his signature on his cheque card and also the name on the cheque.
"Recognise the name I see" he said smugly.
By way of reply I just looked confused.
"It's okay mate, I get this a lot" he said.
"What" I replied "That your signature doesn't match the one on your cheque card?"
"No - I'm from the group The Tornadoes, I'm sure you remember our hit 'Telstar'?".
"No, when was that then?"
"1962"
"Sorry, I was only born in 1961"
"It was a huge international hit you know."
"Great. I'll just get the manager to validate this cheque then."
The manager didn't recognise him either. Poor bugger looked so dejected.
