I was reading berty's post about his THR called NED and this reminded me that i called my crutch Ernie and wonder if anyone else gave strange things names and why?
I called it Ernie cos it the fastest crutch in the west ( i am showing my age now- for those not old enough it was a song by benny hill called Ernie who was the fastest milkman in the west)
I wondered why berty called his hip replacement NED?
Anyone else got any good ones.

Hi Tracey,
makes sense to me that you name things... i do to a degree but mostly its nickname type names and well it makes sense to me .... mind.... my sanity is a bit off

Hi Tracy
You are not odd - l think it makes it less upsetting needing these things in our lives and anyway it's funny when the names are apt.
I know Hileena calls her scooter the 'paddymobile' (hope she doesn't mind me saying :???: )
ERNIE is a good one too
Love

Hi Tracy
Interesting point and yes am sure others have given things names, but maybe some can't be printed here eh! I will watch this one though.
take care

What about 'Go-Go le Bruce' (mobility scooter with Scottish flag on it)?0
