347. Welsh Idiosyncrasies - Nickname Series (27)

I was born in Llanhilleth in 1930 and remember several nicknames.  Thomas Thomas was Tommy Twice.  Any boy with the surname Evans was 'Yanto'.  The Local dairyman, like many other Davids, was Dai the Milk.  The local farmer who sdlivered the milk was Mr Price Maescynew - the name of his farm.

Walter Harris, Cwmbran
