Nicknames given to mates when deviating from the norm.



Shipyards in the seventies had them all . Knicknames given for life, most you never knew their real names.Spare Pie, Zambezi Bob, porno Jim, Joe the duck , The Ironeater, Shagger, Fat Oxo , The wasp,Wacky Jacky,Lumpy Heed,The Dibbler and many more.Most self explanatory ask your fathers if they were down the yards .

My old man used to work down the Yards with a bloke called ‘Handbag’, on account he never used to go to graft spotless and come out spotless.
