Just after saying goodbye to Trev the school caretaker today, I was thinking of how he referred to me as 'The Irishman' if he was being formal with me and 'Irish' when he was being informal. Then I got to thinking about others and their names for me:
The Builder: Mad Irishman!
The Cuddling Consultant: My Little Leprauchan
Good friend: True Blue
Canadian Exchangees: Coyle-in
Pupils: Mr Squigs
Sophie Daly's mother: Legend
Fellow Principal: Digger
But my favourite of the lot was Marg, the school secretary. On numerous occasions I heard her answering the phone saying:
"Do you want to speak to 'The Lad'!"
I will miss her. She was a joy to work with.
