General Chat

Hi Harry, Sorry, have only just spotted this thread. I changed to Derbyshire Dancer after I had been communicating with someone researching in Derbyshire. We got talking and I mentioned that I used to go Line Dancing. In the next reply, he referred to me as the Derbyshire dancer ........I liked it and decided to adopt the name. I always have appreciated the friendly feeling that you get from pet names, like Smiley Sammy, Devonshire Dumpling to name just a couple (hope they don't mind :-) ) .... and just jumped on the bandwagon so to speak. Elaine ;-)

I will add that i have changed mine quite a bit but my name will always have PINK in it and hopefully peeps will know its me!! Although I have been asked which Pink I was? But only when everyone was Pink Sahara xx

I just changed my surname, a fewmonths ago, was Butterworth, got maried last year and was sick of seing my old name so changed it to Woodcock. It's no improvemnet, but there don't seem to be many catherine's around. So I assume everyone know it's me, esp as I have been on here for a long time. There are some great names though, I'd be worried to change mine to a fun one, incase you didn't know who I am. catherine xx

I changed my name for two reasons. One coz it would be confusing with Pink and because my name has always been misspelt and I find that highly irritating (irrational but it bugs me - what can I do?) and two because my surname is very distinctive and sadly there are enough fractures in my outlaws family without them misreading or taking the wrong meaning from any of my witterings here. It just wouldn't be worth the aggro lol Dianna

Harry, i changed my name to Donna (in Sussex) i got moaned at by quite a few, so went back to Strump (in Sussex), but mostly sign my self as Donna

Hi Harry, I can understand what you mean. I've only had 2 names on here (apart from the fancy dress threads). I used to have my full name until it was pointed out to me that that may not be wise so I used my school nickname and I always sign my name. Gwynne (sometimes at Christmas I decorate my name but it's still Guinevere)

Its a Langley thing I think!! I can remember going to the Dominican Republic about 15 years ago and meeting a couple who said they came from Heathrow, after I told them i was from Langley....... what they meant was they came from Britwell, Slough and didn't want to admit it!! PMSL!! xx

Diana PMSL

Harry - I had enough trouble trying to change my name from Sally B, through several mistakes - to the name I have now. I shall remain with this one.....I am a computer illiterate......

I is DEFO NOT a SLOUGH bird!! Me Langley born and bred Mags and we defo don't associate our area with Slough!! ;o) *off stalking P to batter him senseless!!*

Hope you don't mind getting the opinion of someone you don't know! I have read the general board every day for about 18 months, and I can safely say there are only a very few (less than 10 people) who I can I can identify as being individuals and I don't confuse with someone else. And if you asked me to say who they are, the list shrinks even more!! LOL Ummmmmmm........ Merry (from Tips)

you better ask Diana, its her that objects to it lol

Oi get back mr monkey!!!!! I was born in Slough and only moved to Maidenhead about 8 years ago!! Whats wrong wiv bein a slough bird??

she might say she lives in Langley, but she's a Slough bird really.... *runs and hides*

Hmmm - will think on that then! LOL Off out now xxx

Maidenhead! My nan lives in Langley!

:o) Berkshire Mags.... where are you? i'm in Langley!!

It is funny! I am not sure what people may be expecting when opening one of your threads though! LOL

It's the Mags bit that confuses! Perhaps I should change my name to Bristols and be done with it LOL

How about this one??? Its like trying clothes on. LOL
