NICKNAMES


As we all settle down after all the Xmas and New Year festivities and I get back to normality it's interesting to note that Grandad has a habit of labelling people with "nicknames" - for instance - Nanna calls him "Jonesey" and in turn she gets called "Mumkins". Dawn is known as DK or "Dawnykins", Auntie Katy is "Yato", Uncle Pand (Andrew) is "Pando" and Uncle Simon is "S". Uncle Simon often refers to Grandad as "Blobby" but Martin and Mikey haven't been labelled !!! Grandad's brother is known as "Elly", and so when it comes to Dougal well i've got used to DOOGS or DOOGIE. Terms of endearment really. Quite nice actually.
