[Romantic Old Bird]

I must admit, I can't remember what Alex said or did that was rude. What was it? I'm not defending him, I just didn't notice it.

I just thought you might want to know the probable reason why Alex is called 'Poppy' by his mum!

A 'pop' is a doll, in Holland, and I would guess also in Germany.

Therefore she probably calls him 'Poppy' meaning little doll. much as Jonny might call a child 'poppet'.

ROB, mine of useless information, over and out!
