Are any of the posters on this forum willing to share any nicknames they have been called?
My late father used to call me 'Little Roses' when I was a child and the name 'Roses' is what I am called by my family. 'Granny Roses' is what my grandchildren call me. :) My mother always called me by my full name, which she hyphenated, I was called 'Hyphen' at the Ladies College I attended for my secondary school education.
My Baby Sister, calls me D.O.B. short for Daft Old Bat. ::)

Not really a nickname, Shuggie.

During the 7 years of my forced removal to England (1963-70) where I did my secondary schooling in deepest Hertfordshire (St Albans to be precise) I was the only Scottish kid in school until my younger brother turned up - we sounded very different in terms of accent, and I/we were invariably called 'Jock'.
I'd have loved a really cool nickname but, sadly, in was not to be.

Would 'Wild Haggis' be a cool nickname? ;D

That would be severely uncool, and may have lead to some unpleasantness.

I do apologise, I didn't mean to be impolite. :-[

Not very imaginative Gordon.
I also ended up in St Albans, but in 1973 and relocated from Merseyside. I don't think I'd developed much of an accent so no 'Scouse' nickname for me.
Which school did you end up at in St Albans?

Beaumont - we lived in St John's Court, just off Beaumont Avenue. I recall the Headmaster was called Mr Dawson (I think).

Well I never!!
I went to Verulam - would have been the boys grammar in your day before it became a comp.
I still live in the area - in Beaumont Ave! And at the end nearest St John’s Ct.
My three kids all went to Beaumont School - last day of year 12 for my youngest. And I’m now a governor at that school. Current head is Mr Atkinson.
Small world.
