Good thread!

We moved to Finedon two years ago and I felt so fine and dandy that Finedon Dandy is the name I now use most places! We have since aquired two rabbits and given them old local names cos we are so fond of the place - mind you dont think Mackworth and Dolben are quite so keen on their names! - mind you much better than my families suggestions (still townies) of Thumper, Cottontail and the like!

It's been done several times but it is a good thread. There probably is a case for a sticky.

My OH's fault. It was on a list of "10 things that would sound cool said by James Earl Jones" so I had a fortnight of being called "heebiejeebie" in a Darth Vader voice. It made me laugh so I used it.

I had just watched a brilliant film - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, when I signed up. Not gardening related at all except that I think I was hoping for lots of sunshine to help grow the crops!

Rustylady partly because my first pet when I was a child was a Red Setter cross called - you guessed it - Rusty. Also because rusty equates with getting on a bit (which I am) and it's fairly easy to remember. Lady because I'm female, not because I'm part of the aristocracy, and it sounded better than Rustywoman.

Mine's simply what most people call me "Hey, Wayne".

I get called a Constable too sometimes. Well, at least I think that's what they say...

OOH! Wellie..... I have a L one, and an R one.
I love them both equally, and I absolutely live in them, and Trousers tolerates them most of the time.

Barleysugar, because when I was trying to think up a user name years ago, my daughter had a bag of barleysugar sweets, and it seemed as good as any. I use it for most stuff now.
