Short and sweet this week - but I couldn't resist this from Archie's Dad, on the subject of nicknames. His, by the way, is Stocky. Mine, at school, was Porridge.
"The best nickname I ever heard was a guy called 'Two Soups'; when I asked why, he answered that his name was Campbell Baxter!"
Of course, he may have a German cousin called Heinz. Or a brother called, well, Knorrie....
The Tom Morton Show is Monday-Thursday from 1430-1600 and Friday from 1405

The funniest nicknames I heard were submitted by Tam Cowan's listeners to
Off the Ball.
A pipe lagger who was small and slightly built was known as Heineken because he "Reaches the parts other laggers can't reach."
Then there was a police sergeant called Signal coz he was a tube with stripes.
