Re: Nicknames

Two blokes that I worked with in my first job. One was known as the swede. When I began I assumed he was Swedish but then discovered he came from Norfolk and was always going on about root veg. The other was known as Surrey because that's what he called everybody in the way that we might use love. I found out much later that was common to a very small area around Coalville and is believed to have come from the ancient "Sirrah"
