Perfect name for an electrician?

Amp-le opportunities for puns with this shocking name for a sparkie. Pity the van is such a re-volt-ing colour. I saw it and though 'Ohm my God!'

Coul! Omb, I might find that funny Faraday or so.  Do you think he has a brother called Jules?

Henry Watt would've been even better. I have a trade as a surname and do another different one as a job. ;D

BTW, I've been wondering where 0131 was. Some job agency keeps ringing me up about a job and that is the code on the number. I wasn't that bothered about knowing where it was that I was gonna google it, so this pic has helped relieve my mild yet apathetic curiosity!

0121    Birmingham
0131    Edinburgh
0141    Glasgow
0151    Liverpool
0161    Manchester
0171 & 0181 are obsolete inner & outer London codes
0191    Newcastle

Sorry I'm insulate, I've had a battery of to-do's today and with my current load factor my energy efficiency ratio is probably neutral by now.  :-[
