[Barrie Yates]

The majority of servicemen (whoops), are given nicknames early on in their service life which tends to stick throughout their service. I can only think of one that could be classed as sexist - a WRAF who carried the name "Bumpy" throughout her career and she still uses it - she was quite a well endowed young lady and an absolute hooligan on the 5 a side football court, although many were grateful for the cushioning effect when she crashed you into the boards.
