"At the signpost up ahead, your next stop.... The Twilight Zone....."

This is reminding me of a children's TV serial I saw in the seventies. I can't remember what it was called, but the story was that everything electrical in the country stopped working properly, resulting in complete chaos and disorder. The main family in the story were trying to escape to France, which had apparently remained unaffected.

Sven, Ragnar,
Guys, I have a rather simple name.
Mike Trump, but you'd be amazed as to how many people mis-pronounce my surname, and this REALLY annoy's me.
I have been called Mike Crump I don't know how many times.(and also the other off-shoots from this: Mike Crumpett, Crumpy, you know how it goes!)
And then they find out that my real surname is Trump, and then there is the inevitable question:
Are you related to Donald Trump?. Everybody that I have met through Faults work has asked me this, as well as a few others.
Thank God that everyone at ECN knows my name!.

Besides my name is spelled Ragn_a_r, not Ragner... *sigh*
So we all have our share of misspelled names.
