441. Welsh idiosyncrasies - Nickname Series (45)

I worked for the old Red & White Bus Company, which in turn became National Welsh, and almost everyone had a nickname. Among them was

Dai Trousers, because his trousers always quarreled with his ankles;

Legs and Braces, quite tall and wearing the obvious;

Head and Shoulders, because he was of short stature, and that was all you could see of him when he was behind the wheel;

Dai S.R. nothing to do with toothpaste, but he had a penchant to "release wind"...

These are just but a few.
