I don't think they're from anywhere particular Sue, it's just something we grew up with. Folk mispronouncing things to make them less severe or a genuine slip, but they tend to stick in the mind & we still use them in our crowd.

Aye, I suppose the Cashmeister & Wynn are comparable to Whiskies in a way, a tad cheeky at first, then warming & mellow, companionable & somewhat moreish. (All in a Blokey, lets have a pint & go the game sort of way mind)
