Get Rich Quick and beat the Credit Crunch!

Had a major Eureka moment today. Started with the quest for a new starter motor which 'suffered' in the wee conflagration in the hole. So we've got a Ford Lehman 2715e 6 cylinder diesel, not what you'd call common, but not a rare beast either. The starter, after a full strip down revealed its original Lucas part number, so quick ring round the usual suspects of Marine engineering companies that sell/service big old Fordy's, £399 plus Vat plus a 60 quid deposit for the old unit in exchange. Go to an agricultural engineers, the exact same lucas unit, £110.
So my Eureka moment, off down the town hall tomorrow and am going to change my surname to 'marine' by deed poll. I will then take the relevant papers to the bank, who I am sure, upon seeing my name is now 'Mark No 1 marine', will quadruple the balance in my bank account, and generally credit my account with double what I pay in from now one. Simple huh?? Remember you read it here first! If all goes well next month I will change my name again and add the letters 'MP' as I'm guessing that will have the same effect again
*No.2 is piped a'board*
Already tried the name change approach Skipper I'm actually called "Salmon Marks and Spencers Bang and Olaffson Thompson" it's written on the inside of me wellys and the contract I drew up and signed for our boat owning partnership. (Note to self don't mention "contract" to Skipper!)
