393. Welsh Idiosyncrasies - Nickname Series (38)

My dad, an ex miner, knew a Dai Red Ink because he always subbed his pay before the end of the week; also a Dai Rail because he always walked on the rails underground; and my cousin was called Harry Blackpat - never knew why.  I had a carpet shop in Brecon and was called Gwyn Carpets.  I lived there for many years and no one new my proper name.

Gwyn Lewis, Upper Cwmtwrch, Swansea.
