      Some companies fail to see that their choice of domain name may be damaging their image. After all would you have your vehicle repaired at http://www.ankers.com or buy a property through http://www.ankerandpartners.co.uk.

        I don’t see that as a downside – I use a lot of Anker products and I’m impressed with it all. Anker is a brand is pretty good.

        Besides, I associate it with Anchor more than the expletive you’re considering!

            Pen island make a big deal of “Specialzing in Wood” https://www.penisland.net/

            I think that url was probably an inspired marketing move on their behalf.

                There is an industrial supply business not far from me, used to be called Penarth Industrial Supply Services, yep PISS. It’s now dropped the Services from the name.

                My brother was at school with a kid called Richard Head, I knew a girl called Emma Rhoids….

                  I went to school with a lad called Richard Tuff. Dick Tuff had his names reversed, to much hilarity from the 840 lads aged from 11 to 18.

                  VFM: the first Ankers are American Ankers, the second Ankers are British Estate Agents. It’s a bit difficult to decide which are the biggest ankers…. :yahoo:
