Befuddling? No quite logical really, particularly if you had a number of people with the surname O'Shea, the system of differentiating between them by the place they came from is quite common.

While our cousins across the far side of the pond might go in for knicknames such as "Bear", all that would mean to most over this side is some clown setting himself up for a bloody good hidin' every week-end.

Still believe whatever, as I said, I got it from one of the man's relations, absolutely no skin off my nose whether he lied or not, I just cannot see for the life of me why he should, or would, lie about something so pointless and inconsequential.
