    Could depend on your name. Handy Andy is a good one, of course, if a bit predictable. Brass Tacks might work, sounds practical.

    Whatever you choose, check no-one else is using it locally!

    I'm no good at names, but if you are setting up in business you can find lots of advice at http://www.businesslink.gov.uk Especially check out the "grants and goverment support" section. Also you'll find they probably offer a free local course on setting up and administering your business, one section of which is about marketing and naming your business. I did a free 3 day "setup" course, and a free 3 day "accounts" course. They know all about claiming grants too.

    Good on you, I said to Malc for years he ought to do that based on my own experience as a single girl for years and having to ask my dad to do things like put up an outside light, fix something to the wall, assemble some large flat pack furniture etc.

    How about "Rent a Dad" :)

    I just pop in now and then.... :)
