Do you give a regularly seen passer-by a nick-name?

We have 'road-runner', '2 stick man' , 'Sid's mum' amongst some :-)

I've known of a "Mrs Walker" also...she's out in all weathers with her dog, walks miles a day. I've recently been told it's her way of dealing with her husbands death. She hates being in her house now he's not there. That made me sad.

It is...they are hoping that if I win the lottery I'd open up a shop again.

No...thank goodness

Cat man - he knocks on my window most days to wave to my cat!

We have nicknames for all our neighbours, penguin man, (cos he has a stone penguin in the garden), then there is hensarse, pigeon man, supermarket man,morris the rug (cos he wears one), heating couple, the new people(who have actually been there about 2 years now !) and policeman,... I often wonder what is our nickname .
