What's in a Name

Robbie is known by many names. To his Dad he will always be Robert. To the Wild Woman from Walsall (the one whose voice sounds like finger nails being dragged across a blackboard) he is Bob. At work he has several nicknames but at home he is just Robbie - except when he's in the doghouse! He does have a nickname here too. I call him Fred after Fred Elliott, a larger than life Coronation Street character who always repeated himself. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions about the aptness of his nickname!
