Subject: RE: BS: Amazing Names
I met some WRNS with interesting names whilst in the navy--There was a Glaswegian lass ( " See you, Jimmy"---ye didnae argue wi' HER !)called Bozena Radomski...actually,she was a pretty blonde. Then there was my friend,colleague,and fellow Air Radio Mechanic,Daphne Chedzoy.....apparently,it's a Somerset dialect word for "swamp",and since she came from Weston Zoyland,who could gainsay that ??
    A doctor in my home town was called T Staines-Reade, so you can guess what we called him ! And yes, I did used to work for Siemens,and they DID have a facility near Staines,and yes,none of the women who worked there would answer the 'phone.
