Junior school it was 'Big Ed' .......

No further nicknames until I started 'long term' work ...... and that has stayed with me even unto today, amen.

In fact, its what i have on a number of official documents and letters. There are a lot of people I've worked with over the years who don not know my 'real' name. My current work pass only shows my nickname, not my forename. Funny old world, innit !
