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

    • I don't really understand the question in this context? I mean, yes, most of us are motivated by a degree of self interest but Rockets is not standing for election as a local councillor( is he?), nor did he stand for leadership of the Council, so in that sense does not have the power or influence to significantly affect thousands of voter lives. 
    • @Sue of course it matters - 100% it matters. He was an elected official who asked the electorate to entrust the running of a local ward to him as a Labour councillor, under Labour's mandate. He also held a senior position within the Labour local leadership team. Suddenly he leaves and jumps to a political rival and gives his previous political party both barrels. This is why many people distrust all politicians and things like this just goes to confirm that.
    • We may never know, but does it actually matter?
    • Ha ha, @ianr maybe I am more sceptical towards politicians than others as my dad insisted I watched Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister and read Private Eye in my younger years! It opened my eyes to politicians and how they will flip flop to suit their own personal goals! One does wonder if Cllr McAsh would have made the same "principled" jump to the Greens if he had not had his Labour career knee-capped by Labour HQ over the leadership of the council.....
