nick names
i was called "joejoe " at school only my sisters call me that now, are you stil called by you nick name or has it changed to grampa
At school it tended to be Knotty ... the simple expedient of adding a "y" to the end of my surname .... think my dad and grandad had the same nickname ... and my sons too ....
For a while after I left school I worked for a bank (before coming to my senses and studying to be an Engineer). While I was there I picked up the nickname "Diner" ... this came about through the fact that in the staff room we had a dartboard that we played on at every opportunity (we played in a league). At lunchtime chairs were in short supply and often the only vacant one was the one beneath the dartboard as nobody would sit there ... well, nobody but me - why be scared of a few darts?
Anyway, I was classed as a "dangerous diner" and the "diner" part of it stuck.
