There was Dai Twp because he looked and acted odd. Another miner was called Satan - because of his looks. (Imagine being in a remote heading in a mine when the tannoy called for Satan to turn up...) There was another called Will Jingle Jangle because he was always shaking coins in his pocket, and another called Yunker because he looked like a fledgling.
