Late arrivals at the Accountants' Awards dinner

I’m often a judge for Accountancy awards. The dinners and award parties are often spoiled by latecomers.  Love their names:
  • Mr and Mrs Lentry, and their daughter Deb
  • Mr and Mrs Itor, and their daughter Aud
  • Mrs Tor and her son Cred E
  • Mr and Mrs N' Counter and their daughter Bea
  • Mrs Itnloss and her academic husband the Prof
  • The Preciation family and their dipsomaniac daughter Dee, whose balance is always reducing and who never seems to go in a straight line...
  • Mr Uaddedtax and his daughter Val
  • The twin Entrybookkeeping brothers - it's double Entrybookkeeping
  • Mrs Ternalaudit and her son Ian  (her divorced husband, couldn't make it. He's her Ex)
  • Mr and Mrs Shion and their female cousin from the southern USA, Tex Eva.
  • Mr and Mr Trolacount and their son Con.
  • From Germany, Mr & Mrs Inkind and their son Benny Fitz
  • Everyone's least favourite vicar, the Rev Enue
  • Mr and Mrs Quidasset and their son Lee
  • Mr and Mrs Enture and their daughter Deb
  • All the way from Bermuda, Mr and Mrs Haven and their son Tex
  • They've been written off previously, but they're back, Mr. and Mrs. Ization and their son A. Mort.

  • Mr and Mrs Peemgee and their daughter Kay
  • Mr and Mrs Payedtax and their adopted Korean son Un
  • Mr and Mrs Taxation preferred not to be announced as late. They asked if their arrival could be described as 'deferred'.
Finally, please welcome Mr and Mrs Prophet with their daughter Annette, and their tall son nicknamed Grows. They work in a laboratory where they have to wear an overall. ;-)

The above were suggested in response to my request in a facebook group: I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue Appreciation Society (It's a homage to the popular radio 4 comedy show)
