On a PAR?

Discovered why some Jabsco pumps are "PAR" pumps..... 

It stems from the names of the guys who made them originally many years ago, Peters and Russell.  Those guys really knew how to make quality gear, I still use them, would never buy anything else as long as they are still available.

Do Elves require much in the way of servicing ?

Is that not 'Elvist' by just providing service for one part of the community, what about the Faries, etc ?

And PRM comes from Percy Riley Motors the first boxes were adaptations of the Riley Nine gearbox I believe.

Gawd - if I'd knwn I would not bought one - silly really as Rileys were good cars and good looking too - but I don't think the gearboxes were that special..

ASDA comes from "Associated Dairies"

No it doesn't (ish):

 

"In 1965, the Asquith brothers approached Associated Dairies to run the butchery departments within their small store chain. A merger was proposed and the Asquiths' business was joined with Noel Stockdale's to form a new company, Asda (Asquith + Dairies) (capitalised from 1985)"
