More from Lynda of Penarth, who told me in post № 181 about the shopkeeper in Bargoed who had his own way of recording the accounts of the various neighbours – in this case, all people named Thomas:
A large lady: Mrs Thomas Fat
A lady whose stockings were frequently at half mast: Mrs Thomas Gaiters
A good mnemonic: Mrs Thomas ‘Thomas Street’
