Now I wonder why? Not very complimentary are they? But what could we expect from you Cashy?

My first job in London was working with a load of Sloane Rangers, and nearly all of them kept their childhood nick names.

As someone whose parents refused to give their children middle names, because they thought it pretentious, it took quite a while for me to comfortably call twenty odd year olds Ploppy (Peregrine's Nanny's toilet training name), Nu-Nu (Miranda, the 'newest' child), Ade (Lady Victoria, appeared late in Burke's Peerage as ada, a daughter also.)

Glad this isn't just confined to the nobs.

I was called flossy at school because of my long curly hair, (oh the days with hair, where did they go?) after I joined the airforce I was called fossy and it has stuck with me, my son's nickname is fossy jr and even now friends will ring up and ask for fossy.

My Dad always called me Lizzie....sometimes Araminta, sometimes slapcabbage.......GOK because I am Margaret. I HATED to be called Lizzie(dripping).......thankfully my nicknames are in my dim and distant past.
My staff always called me Sr P........and if they see me out and about they still refer to me by this name.
