worked for a guy when i left school who when he asked me what my name was gave me a funny look and said.. Weve already got a lad called Russ im afraid, we,ll call you Steve! i was to young to complain and how would i argue with someone like that anyway? his 2 young daughters made my stay worthwhile and being known as steve stopped any comebacks outa work! :;): :;):

My ex had an uncle who went by the name of Tom Bowler, and he was a headteacher which was the source of much ribbing.
