My friends daughter is called Otterly, she?s 24 of close to that.


What?s your point? Oh yeah, you?ve not heard of it before, I see.


Well there you go, whatever next?!

You killjoy fleabag


Wait a second, there is good name.... (actually three good names, Fleabag, Seabag and Killjoy)


As a kid I always liked the name Lorraine. It was dreadfully exotic. I think that Lorraine Chase put pay to that. We also had friends Alexandra and Olivia. They weren't posh but the mum was trying to give that impression. They were the only ones I knew for years.

Lorraine Chase may have had a very strong working class accent but she was exceptionally well-groomed....maybe she was named after a French relative of hers?- they are all descended from peasants but are well-groomed!

Sadly many of us will only remember the Luton Airport advert. Even more will have not heard of us. But thanks for putting me right, and pleased that Lorraine has stayed an up market name!


I also hadn't realised that she was from Deptford and is therefore a local celeb.


For those who want to know what I am talking about

    • Actually, if it was factory fitted then it's location would be documented. It's the fact that it can be fitted in different places which means that it's difficult for thieves to locate. 
    • OK, good suggestion and it appears that the after-market price is about £260. But if that that was fitted ex-factory then the cost would be substantially less and certainly a small fraction of the price of a high-end car.
