Do you call the first number in the book? Aardvark taxis?  email this discussion to a friend?

I was just having a walk during my lunch break and I noticed a car that had a sign on its roof saying it was from the "Aardvark School of Driving". Now what has an aardvak got to do with learning to drive?

Of course, lots of companies use these silly names so that they can be the first in the list in the telephone directory.

Do you phone the first one in the list when you look for a compnay in the telephone directory - be it plumber, solicitor or taxi company? Or do you look down the list for familiar names, or the closest firm?

Would the name Aardvark ctch your eye - or do you think that this marketing ploy doesn't work?

It wouldn't necessarily work with me, especially if I've heard about other companies through friends' recommendations. I see a lot of that in the phone book where businesses put several A's in front of their name. There's even an alcohol abuse line that does this, listed as "A Alcohol AA Abuse AAAA."
