You know how you used to listen to the radio (in my case Tony Blackburn on saturday mornings) and try & work out in your head an idea of how they looked from their voice?
Well.....This is a bit silly but when you've known people by their screen name and then you discover their real name, do you think "Hmmm..s/he doesn't come across as a "Stuart" (or whatever)?
A good example is when I used to work in a dairy on QC. Everyone (even the boss!) knew and addressed me as "Fat B*stard"
So when some of them realised my name was Simon, I got quite a few responses like "Eeeh, you don't sound like a Simon!!"
The funny thing was, when I asked one of them what I did sound like, he said Trevor.
Before you all hold your hands up in terror, I've nothing against the name Trevor, just not ever thought of it as a name for me, if you see what I mean.
OK, I'll get my coat....
