275. Welsh Idiosyncrasies - Nickname Series (10)

We had a few Dais in our rugby club.  Dai Phantom ghosted through gaps.  Dai Oil worked on the rigs.  Dai Llandaf, he came from Llandaf RFC.  Dai Steps 6 ft 7" got his name when our hooker Tichy met him the first time and said "I need steps to talk to you."  There was also Jones The Pill, because he worked as a pharmaceutical rep selling birth pills.
