I seem to remember many people having a nickname when I was wee, but hardly anyone seems to have one nowadays. Some I remember hearing about were;

The Exorcist (because when he came to your house, all the spirits disappeared)

Vimto ( because nobody liked him)

Two Soups ( because his name was Campbell Baxter)

I wonder if he could have moved this way after that, and got with a Scots lady? Was he quite a cheeky kind of short man with a beard? Bit of a hippy?

Oh! I've just seen that you said he was short! Could be him.

We used to live in a house by the park and my then toddler son used to see a man every day walking his dog.

He called to him mandog!
