My Grandad used to call me Duck. Haven't been called it since he died in 1983. Brings a lump to my throat when I hear it . xx (Grandad was a South Londoner) |

My Dad used to put the ketle on himself but he used to say to Mum 'have you had a nice day duck'. Just realised, he must have been the first of the 'new men':)) They both called me darling though. |

My Mum and Dad didnt as they come from Lancashire so they called me Love, but my Hubby calls me Duck, I had never heard it as a pet name before I moved to Stoke on Trent. He also calls me Pidge aswell, not unless he meant podge and I heard him wrong! Marie: ) |

Probably Dawn, My son, when he was quite small, wrote in his school news book that he had been to see Granddad and Duck, the teacher thought my Dad owned a farm!!!! ;-)) |
