spike10764 Posted 3 January , 2004 Share Posted 3 January , 2004 My wife insisted on calling my youngest boy Daniel. He is aged 6. Now, Daniel Johnstone's was the name of a large furniture warehouse that closed in Carlisle in the mid 80's. Everyone above 30 remarks on it (as I said they would) and the poor lad just looks puzzled....... Still my mam called me Kevin,very popular in the 60's-now the name of a gerbil-so I hide behind my nickname Spike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
