We all got nicknames at Grammar School -

• John Brown was Hovis
• someone else was Budge because he bred budgerigars
• John Davenport was Donk because the Latin master kept calling him Doncaster instead of Davenport
• Ric Barough was Kit because he used to break up when he laughed (like he was having kittens)
• I was Tul after Servius Tullius, King of Rome, becuase if you latinise my surname it rhymes with Tullius.
• Philip Harvey was Milly but I don't know why

And of course, the Aussies call all red-headed men Blue!

WassaiL! V
