A girl from Liverpool goes to the welfare office to register for child benefit
“How many children?” asks the welfare officer
“Ten” replies the Liverpool girl
“Ten?” says the welfare worker
“What are their names?”
“Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan and Nathan”
“Doesn’t that get confusing?”
“Naah…” says the girl, “It’s great because if they are out playing in the street I just have to shout ‘Nathan yer dinner’s ready!’
or ‘Nathan go to bed now!’ and they all do it”
“What if you want to speak to one individually?” says the curious welfare worker
“That’s easy,” says the girl, “I just use their surnames”
