Colgate: The guy from the Pogues has a perfect smile in comparison.
Lie By Nite: Pretends he drives for Fly By Nite on his days off. Reckons Ralph Davis has given him some work too, and he proved it by showing some of “his” yard photos. A lot of early FHs, and a remarkable collection of early '90s hatchbacks in the background. Not unusual until you consider Lie By Nite is only in his late 20s.
Vicky Pollard: Ardley Quarry weighbridge clerk, likes to use “yeah…yeah…no.” in as many sentences as possible.
Not quite a workmate but a good mate that I’ve known for years goes by the name " wang" (but not in front of his wife )
Comes from the fact is second name is Kerr.
There’s a guy at work who I always call “depth charge”, he’s asked me why a few times. Maybe one day I’ll tell him it’s 'cos he’s forever looking for a sub!

Thats reminded me of another nick name, lorry driver nick named himself “Wanger” and had it printed on a reg plate and stuck on the frount screen of his cab. Was a total one too, I mean really went out of his way to be one too.
Not a workmate but a boy at my school in the 50s. He was known by all as ‘Donkey’ and it was only when I saw him in the showers that I realised it wasn’t because of his big ears.
