Name that person.

We do that on holiday. On a recent trip to France we found a lovely little cafe where we ate every day. The owner, of course we called Rene ('Allo Allo). There was another regular,we called President Kennedy, the very efficient waiter was Speedy Gonzales and a grumpy couple who always sat in a corner were the Old Farts. It just makes chatting about them all easier as we had no idea of their names.

Wonder what they called us?

Love this thread

We have a chap who lives near us and when he walked past the gates one day, my eldest GD (at the time, she'd have been about 6 years old) said 'nanny, Roy Cropper has just walked past your house' - and he does look like him, even down the coat and small bag so to this day, he is known to us as Roy Cropper

The last gardener I had had a shock of blond kind of frizzy hair and was instantly nicknamed (by my son) as Sideshow Bob (Simpsons) - when I'd asked around about this gardener, nobody knew him, the minute I said he looked a bit like Sideshow Bob, they all knew who I meant!

Chap who owns a local off-licence is nicknamed Slithering Sam because of how he sidles up to you and tries, in a wheedling, slightly lispy voice, to sell you stuff.

One of the regulars on the station for my morning train to work is known as Giraffe Lady ever since she won.a 5 foot high toy giraffe in a raffle. She spent the next few weeks trying to persuade someone to adopt it with no sucess. One poor man who she was particularly insistent with resorted to hiding and running on to the station when the train arrived.

Blimey.

I must be fodder for my neighbours.

Like the thread.

I forgot Llama Lady. She lives along the road and keeps - alpacas. However, she looks like one of her pets and Llama Lady is more pleasingly alliterative. I do introduce her as llama Lady, safe in the knowledge that she thinks I am referring to her pets rather than her face!

We have 'Kilt Woman' and 'Kilt Woman's Husband', also a lady we call 'May my horse smell your bicycle?' Because that was the first thing she said to DH when she meet him. We don't know why.
When he was at work some of his staff used to refer to me as Delia as they thought I looked like b Delia Smith. (I don't!)
